Discover the grape variety: Courbu
Courbu is indigenous to the Pyrenean vineyards. This white grape variety is part of the Jurançon family. Three clones are recognized in this variety, which buds in the medium term, develops regularly and has satisfactory productivity. The way in which the shoots form is characteristic. Initially upright, they bend and curve, giving a parasol-like finish to the vine. A vigorous rootstock is recommended to see the Courbu develop and mature at a late age. The small clusters display quite distinctive features. Not necessarily winged, they are pignate and stocky, with a rounded or rather flattened shape. A light pink veil covers the most mature berries, but the original colour varies from yellow-green to golden white. Vinification enhances the juice of this variety. The bouquet becomes more refined with age under a pale yellow colour. Dry or sweet, this wine is always remarkably fine.
