Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, sweet
This is a golden, unctuous dessert wine from Jurançon, built on the botrytis-free late-harvest richness of Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng. Expect a lush core of honeyed apricot and candied citrus balanced by the appellation's characteristic zingy acidity, keeping it lively rather than cloying. It finishes long, with notes of quince paste and toasted nuts.
