Camin Larredya - Jurançon - Au Capcéu - Blanc - 2022

Wine:

Pure Petit Manseng, made from raisined grapes rather than botrytized ones, the 2022 white Jurançon Au Capcéu offers notes of grapefruit, candied orange zest, mint, and quince, with magical breadth and freshness. The palate is extravagantly complex, marked by the bitterness of gentian, the presence of spices, cocoa beans, tea tannins, and a salivating, minty finish. An astonishing symphony of flavors!

Vinification:

Hand harvested from early to mid-November 2022 by successive sorting of raisined, botrytis-free grapes. Vinification without de-stemming, long pressing, indigenous yeast fermentation in 225-liter barrels (5% new) and 1200-liter temperature-controlled tuns. Aged 10 months on lees, 50% in 225-liter barrels and 50% in 1200-liter foudres. Production of 8,000 bottles. Residual sugar: 110 g/l (sweet).
