Description

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