Pairing with sweet memories of Japanese grape soft drink. — 6 months ago
The nose brims with orchard and tropical fruit layered with honeysuckle and fresh herbs. On the palate, the acidity remains crisp and lively, yet there’s a gentle creaminess that rounds the edges with quiet sophistication.
At year 8, this 70/30 Petit Courbu/Petit Manseng blend remains a thoughtful meditation in the glass fitting to its name.

solid rendition of this charming Basque wine: not terribly expressive on the nose or palate - some citrus & salinity, minerals and river stones. a hint of effervescence, racy acidity, angular, this wine needs the proper food pairing of seafood and briny bits of goodness for it to shine. — 6 months ago

Blend of Gros Manseng (80%) and Petit Manseng (20%). Medium golden color. Aromas of citrus, stone fruit, wet stones and white flowers. Flavors of lemon/lime, white peach, grapefruit and apricot fruit with a touch of honey. Firm mineral backbone comes to the forefront on the long and lingering finish. Vibrant acidity and a chalky texture. Quite complex and vibrant! Bone dry, medium-minus bodied and very refreshing. Solid value. — 2 days ago
