The wine

Ballet d'octobre, voilà un nom puissamment évocateur pour ce vin blanc liquoreux issu de baies de petit manseng passerillées sur pieds. Sur des terrains argilo-siliceux orientés au sud-est, le petit manseng atteint une maturité optimale avant de subir l'action de botrytis cinerea, la pourriture noble, qui concentre les arômes et les sucres dans chaque baie.
Intense et riche, ce vin dévoile des arômes nets de fruits exotiques (mangue, ananas) et d'agrumes. Le pain d'épices apporte encore plus de gourmandise à l'ensemble. Portée par une tension marquée, la bouche est douce et fraîche.
Cinq ans de garde assurent l'expression de toute la complexité de ce vin gourmand et chaleureux.

Information about domain Cauhapé

The Domaine Cauhapé, one of the most well-known domaines in Jurançon, is run by Henri Ramonteu, passionate grape-grower and one of the region's flagship producers. Every year, his 43 hectares of vines produce 250 000 bottles of this golden wine, made using two grape varieties: Petit Manseng (for sweet wines) and Gros Manseng (for dry wines and the first sweet wines). The vines are situated at 500m above sea level, between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic ocean, therefore benefitting from a climate which combines harsh mountainous conditions with the gentleness of the sea. The soil, a rich mix of clay, pebbles and quartz, allows the grapes to elegantly express their full potential.
