Domaine Laguilhon Jurançon Doux
A luscious white wine with fragrant pineapple and honey notes, crafted from late-harvested Manseng grapes
Domaine Laguilhon Jurançon Doux, from Jurançon, France, is a luscious white (still) sweet wine crafted from a 50/50 blend of Gros and Petit Manseng. The grapes are hand-harvested late in October, allowing them to raisin on the vine to concentrate sugars and enhance acidity. This meticulous vinification results in a beautifully balanced wine, offering fragrant aromas of fresh pineapple and honey. On the palate, it is rich and harmonious, making it an excellent choice as an aperitif or alongside mild cheeses. The domaine's hilltop location and unique 'poudingue de Jurançon' soils contribute to the wine's distinctive character and quality.
