AOC Jurançon Sec "Vitatge Vielh" 2021 - Clos Lapeyre

A Jurançon Sec, pale straw in colour. The nose shows aromatic herbs over citrus notes, with background hints reminiscent of pastry cream. The palate is well balanced, with excellent acidity and good persistence, and the finish is long and dry. It is made from three traditional grapes of the region, from a 1.80 ha parcel planted in 1940. Fermentation and maturation take place in 600-litre casks, with about a year on the lees, followed by about six months in steel before bottling. It is well suited to chicken cacciatore.
