Camin Larredya - Jurançon - Au Capcéu - White - 2022

Wine:

A pure Petit Manseng wone, made from raisined grapes rather than botrytized ones, the 2022 white Jurançon Au Capcéu opens with notes of grapefruit, candied orange zest, mint, and quince, and a beautiful 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).
