Lively fresh notes of matured citrus fruits derive from the Gros Manseng and Camaralet which offers refinement and maturity. This pale, youthful wine sees no oak and has subtle flint and rosehip aromas and an uplifting palate of tangy citrus fruit.
Pascal Labasse’s Jurançon Sec is made from a blend of 70% Gros and 30% Camaralet that is vinified in stainless steel to preserve its crisp, citrus fruit characteristics and palate-cleansing acidity.
Simon Hoggart - The Spectator, June 2011 says:Jurançon is one of the oldest of all French wine areas. It’s just under the Pyrenees, and the grapes are two varieties — gros and petit — of Manseng. This creates a lovely, silky, deep-bodied wine with a flavour that may be unfamiliar but makes for a very nice surprise. I think you will like this Jurançon Sec Tradition 2010 made by Pascal Labasse (13%). This too is a fine outdoors wine, perfect with fish or chicken.
