Terroir

The Château Jolys with its 40 hectares is one of the biggest châteaux of Jurançon. Its vineyard extends over the superb hillsides of the chapel of Rousse in the heart of the Jurançon AOC vineyard. The vines are planted on silico-clay soils with steep slopes facing the Pyrenees.
This cuvée is made from young vines of Petit Manseng facing South/Southeast and Gros Manseng facing East.

Vinification & Maturing

After successive selections, the destemmed grapes are cold-macerated before a slow and delicate pressing. The musts are settled and then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The mutage is done at the right sugar-alcohol balance according to the tasting. 

Tasting 

An aromatic nose mixing fresh citrus and ripe exotic fruits. 

A round attack on candied fruits. The very fresh mid-palate supports the sweetness of this wine with a lively finish evoking grapefruit peel.
