Jurançon, Southwest France, France
Intense, unusual white, characteristic of the region, near Toullousse. Very interesting.

Mar 16th, 2018I have been intrigued by the wines of Jurançon lately, as they have the potential to offer a great play between sweetness and freshness. The level of residual sugar plays off course a pivotal role here. In my opinion, lower levels allow the acidity to shine, the wine's real backbone. This is a more concentrated Jurancon, perhaps a bit too much. It is a young wine though, so perhaps it will improve with age. For now however, the vibrancy is not there (yet).
