Vin de France Clos Uroulat Gemini Charles Hours 2022

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.
