Jurançon Moellux: Domaine Bellegarde Cuveé Thibault 2009

A rich, powerful wine with a complex bouquet of mandarins, lemon and candied peel with smoky undertones preceding a decadent palate of dried fruits and nuts, offset by feint mineral nuances and leading to a marvellous honeyed finish.

  • Vinification: 8 hectares of old vines grown on south facing, silt-clay slopes furnish the fruit for this flagship bottling. Extremely late picked (vendanges continue well into late December) hand harvested (by multiple tris or combings), de-stalked grapes are pneumatically pressed then vinified in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Extremely high levels of natural sugars from air-dried, raisin-like grapes ensure an excellent concentration of sweet fruit flavours in the finished wine.
