Intensity
Aromatic persistence and indulgence are the lasting impression with this wine which pairs wonderfully with desserts or can be enjoyed on its own.
More infoThis wine is at its fruity best in its youth. Its generosity and velvety texture are perfect for an informal meal or drinks and nibbles with friends. It is made with Négrette, cultivated in line with biodynamic principles on a terroir rich in iron oxide. The berries are fermented the traditional way, in vats, and the wine is matured in 20-hectolitre foudres for eight months.
About the Producer Guirardel
The domaine Guirardel has belonged to the same family for almost four centuries; it is now managed by Françoise Casaubieilh and her husband Pierre Coulomb. The vineyard, located on the southern slopes of the Pre-Pyrenees foothills, at between 185 and 225m of altitude, looks out onto the Pyrenees. The domain’s vines are made up of the local varieties Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng, which are particularly suited to the micro-climate. The domain is in the process of converting to organic viticulture, and has begun using tillage in order to establish a self-sustaining ecosystem that doesn’t rely on fertilisers. The vineyard has reduced its use of disease control chemical treatments as much as possible. This couple of passionate winegrowers produces dry, sweet and dessert Jurançon, all of which are exceptional.
