Description

In the Juran̤on (near Pau), Pascal Labasse is lord and master of the native grape varieties petit and gros manseng. He offers good press references and medals for both dry and (semi) sweet varieties. The sweet Bellegarde (in French: moelleux) is made from both varieties. The gros manseng without wood maturation contributes to the typical fresh taste structure of Juran̤on. The petit manseng matures for a few months in small oak barrels and gives the wine the sweet taste. The result after assembly is a beautiful white Juran̤on less sweet than classic dessert wines but with many gastronomic uses.
