Jurançon is one of the little-known star appellations of SW France, its white wines a truly authentic taste of the region’s quirky Manseng grape. We discovered this small domaine and loved the wine. It’s run by two 74+ year old sisters, Anne-Marie and Christiane Barrère, assisted by their more ancient mother, Madame, in the kitchen garden! It’s the sort of wine you might never try without an introduction, and it wins awards.
The wine
This is their single vineyard white, growing purely the local superstar grape Gros Manseng. Meticulously tended and gently fermented, no oak, it produces a characterful white with lush, creamy peach, blossom and bonbons aromas. Flavours of apricot, quince and peach again, with lovely weight and roundness, underscored by a whip of mineral freshness. This is a dream of a white, with no need for ageing.
How can you help?
The sisters, Anne-Marie and Christiane, may be in their eighth decade, but are fit and able, with a small team behind them at harvest time. Nearly all their wine has been sold locally, but with an ageing clientele and younger locals choosing to buyer from le supermarché, the ladies were worried about the future. By signing up for an annual case, Vineyard Partners ensure the ladies a guaranteed annual sale, while enthusiasm from their supporters is extremely heartening.
