In the local language, the name means “old vines,” and this wine comes from a parcel of 60-year-old vines. This is impressive, rich and structured, with a wild range of toasty, smoky flavors as well as apricot, green plum and kumquat finished with an herbaceous edge. Needs aging.

The name means “the best” in the Occitan language. A full-on botrytised wine, it is rich, sweet, super-ripe, the botrytis giving its true dry edge. And, as is often found in a great Jurançon, it has a lightness from acidity and bitter orange tones. Definitely ageworthy, this will develop for 5–10 years, probably more.

This is the entry-level sweet Jurançon from Bernard Larrieu and it is only lightly touched by botrytis. It is fresh, immediately ready to drink, with acidity and light honey giving a final lift.

Made from the Gros Manseng grape, this pineapple and mango flavored wine is dry, but so fruity. The acidity just floats in the mouth, while the slight fruit-skin texture adds an edge to a wine that’s delicious.
