Domaine Montesquiou Grappe d’Or Jurancon

The Montesquiou family have been a source of Jurancon wines for generations, today it is run by brothers Sébastien and Fabrice who have raised the quality of the estate to a new level. The brothers employ many of the techniques of biodynamic viticulture so that no insecticides and herbicides are used. This philosophy demands that they put a great deal of work in their vineyards to produce healthy grapes that have good balance between ripeness and acidity. Having picked healthy grapes the brothers intervene as little as possible in the winery allowing both the grapes and vineyards to speak for themselves. The results are stunning. Grown in the foothills of the Pyrenees, they have taken the indigenous grape varieties of Gros Manseng, Courbu and Camaralet and created something very special indeed. Concentrated flavours of apricot, lemon and honey.  Sweet, but without being too much, a pure joy to drink.
