The wine

A product of the fermentation of raisined grapes, Au Capcèu is a solid-gold favourite of the iDealwine team. It is produced by direct pressing and fermentation in barrique barrels and foudre tuns. Its intense golden appearance reveals notes of candied fruits such as fig, apricot and mandarin. Over time, its honeyed notes give way to truffle. Its sweetness is counterbalanced perfectly by a great acidity. Why not risk a daring pairing with roasted poultry and yellow fruit, blue cheese or Asian cuisine? Sensational!

Information about domain Camin Larredya

Jean-Marc Grussaute has successfully propelled this little Jurançon gem of a domaine to the top tier of the appellation with his eclectic output of dry and sweet white wines. The story goes that this domaine acquired in 1900 only began to cultivate vines in 1970, when Petit and Gros Manseng varieties were introduced. Jean-Marc Grussaute came to the family domaine 1988 to help out his mother. Today he has a dozen staff of his own. He uses organic techniques, and achieved certification in 2007. The grapes are harvested by hand and yields are small. In the vineyard and cellars, he focuses on letting the terroir express itself perfectly. This is a quintessential Pyrenean domaine which the iDealwine team wholeheartedly endorses, having sampled its wines on more than one occasion!
