Discover the grape variety: Petit Courbu

Aromatic, structured whites with a golden robe, ample palate and preserved acidity, showing refined aromas of yellow fruits (pear, peach), candied citrus, white flowers, honey and limestone mineral notes. Adds roundness and richness to Béarn blends. Precious component of Jurançon AOC (dry and sweet), Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh AOC and Béarn AOC, complementing petit and gros manseng. Very rare autochthonous Béarn variety, making a comeback for its aromatic finesse.

Very high ageing potential. Star of Jurançon moelleux AOC and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh AOC, also made as ambitious dry wines. Very late-ripening native grape of Béarn (South-West France).
