Cuvée Marotte is probably the domain's most prestigious wine and boasts a remarkable elegance and finesse. More info

Remarkably elegant and sophisticated, the cuvée Marotte is probably the most prestigious wine of this domain. The nose has notes of fresh fruits, spices and honey and the finish is stunning. This wine deserves to be cellared for a few years. The vines of Petit Manseng from which the wine is produced draw their nutrients from several metres below ground, resulting in a rare symbiosis of intense berry aromas and freshness from the deep soil.

Jurançon Marrote Guirardel (Domaine) serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Canard aux pêches, Escalope de fois gras aux pommes, Tarte Tatin.

Peak: Drink until 2020

What the experts say...

"Les cuvées sont digestes, séductrices, toujours justes dans leur définition, riches en personnalité, en particulier le singulier Marrote, issu d’une sélection parcellaire très riche en galets, laquelle apporte au vin une finesse et une intensité étonnantes", RVF 2017

Information about domain 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.
