Jurançon Uroulat Charles Hours

The wine

The grapes of this single varietal Petit Manseng are slowly and gently pressed before undergoing fermentation and élavage in small barrels. This unique, highly concentrated grape variety gives off rich aromas and fantastic acidity. This elegant, sophisticated wine has achieved the perfect balance of fruitiness and crystalline tension, with aromas of candied and exotic fruits.

Information about domain 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.
