Jurançon Sec Clos Uroulat Juste le blanc Charles Hours 2023

The wine

The Jurançon Sec Clos Uroulat Juste le Blanc by Charles Hours is an elegant white wine crafted from Gros Manseng grapes cultivated in the Jurançon region of South-Western France. The pale yellow colour with golden reflections is clear and bright.
On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of white fruits such as apple and pear, combined with citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, as well as floral and mineral touches. On the palate, this wine delivers a unique lively and fresh attack, with a well-balanced acidity. Favours of fresh fruits, such as peach and green apple, combine with hints of honey and hazelnut, offering a light texture. The long and refreshing finish offers a fine mineral persistence and a slight salinity.
Ideal paired with seafood, grilled fish, or poultry dishes, this wine is also a great partner for fresh goat cheeses. We recommend you serve it well chilled, between 8 and 10 °C, to fully appreciate all its qualities.

About the Producer Clos Uroulat

Although Charles Hours comes from an old winemaking family, he started out as a scientist and rugby player before buying le Close Uroulat in 1983. In 2005, his daughter joined him, and together they grow three grape varieties: Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng, and a parcel of Petit-Courbu (a native variety of the Pyrenees). The vines are cultivated following biodynamic methods, and benefit from the Foehn, a hot, dry wind from the Pyrenees. The domain is located 28km to the south-west of Pau, around 45km from the nearest ski stations and 80km from the Atlantic ocean.
