The family farm was traditionally dedicated to polyculture with raising, berries and grapes brought to the cooperative cellar. Since 1985, the estate has turned exclusively to viticulture. Jean-Bernard Larrieu cultivates his vines, vinifies the grapes, raises his wines, bottles them and markets them, Clos Lapeyre is born! In 2000, the vineyard has about 10 hectares. In 2004, it grew with the takeover of the Nays-Labassère estate, a beautiful and old vineyard of 7 hectares in the heart of Chapelle-de-Rousse.
THE VINE: Organic Viticulture with license Quality France since 2005. Practice of Biodynamics since 2013 Cultivation in terraces for about 8 hectares on slopes very steep. Spring tillage on the row and between the vines: promotes aeration and deep rooting.
Clos Lapeyre - Soft Jurançon: This is a big Manseng base to which we assemble the first tries of small Manseng. Harvesting of very ripe grapes, usually made in 2 tries, between October 15th and November 15th. The vinification is very similar to Lapeyre Sec, with the exception of the partial alcoholic fermentation that keeps the must's sugar (70 g / l) in the liquor state to give the sweet taste. The notion of balance between freshness and liquor is very important on these wines intended essentially to be bus "off table" or dessert wine. In fact, because of the attitude of the vineyard, the nights are cooler and the maturation process is slower: the grape acids are therefore little degraded and we harvest grapes naturally sweet and acidic, which gives liveliness in the wines. Manual harvest usually in two sorts, spaced 8 to 15 days depending on the weather. At each sort, only clusters or pieces of clusters are cut. Under the action of the sun and warm winds from Spain (Wind Balaguèr), the grapes lose some of their water by dehydration: it is our system of concentration in Jurançon.
