Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Château de Rousse sits at La Chapelle-de-Rousse in the heart of Jurançon, on clay-silica slopes planted since the fifteenth century. Its dry Jurançon is Gros Manseng-based: grapefruit, quince and a touch of pineapple over a mineral core, with the brisk, mouth-watering acidity that is the appellation's signature and a slightly bitter, citrus-pith finish.
Serving: Serve at 9–11 °C.
