The wine has a bright, clear appearance with good viscosity, showcasing its rich character. The nose is expressive and aromatic, with a pronounced bouquet of ripe yellow fruits such as quince, apricot, and peach. These fruity notes are complemented by subtle floral hints of honeysuckle and acacia. There’s a distinct honeyed richness, balanced by a touch of citrus zest and white spice, suggesting some well-integrated oak influence. Full-bodied and beautifully textured, with a harmonious balance of richness and freshness. The fruit flavors of candied citrus, ripe pear, and tropical fruits like pineapple are prominent. The wine’s signature acidity lifts the flavors and adds a refreshing quality. A delicate minerality, along with a hint of beeswax and a touch of ginger, offers complexity and depth. Long and persistent, with a smooth, almost silky finish. The fruit continues to linger, accented by a pleasant sweetness and a touch of spice, leaving a lasting impression. A remarkable and refined example of Jurançon, with elegance and a fine balance between sweetness, acidity, and fruit expression.
