Château Lafitte - Jurançon Moelleux 2016
Château Lafitte is a former 14th century manor house, located in Monein, between Pau and Oloron Sainte-Marie, in the Atlantic Pyrenees. The current owners of Château Lafitte, Philippe and Brigitte Arraou, have been undertaking a project for the past thirty years that has always been a dream for them: to relaunch wine production. Since 2012, their son Antoine, a passionate winegrower, committed to preserving the environment, has managed the estate. He changed it from organic farming to biodynamics, and paved the way for natural wines. It produces high quality wines while respecting the balance of the land and the vine. The 5-hectare vineyard is made up of equal parts Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng.
Jurançon Doux is a blend of Gros Manseng (50%) and Petit Manseng (50%). The grapes are harvested the second half of October. Fermentation is spontaneous and takes place in stainless steel vats. The wine is aged on fine lees for 15 months, in stainless steel vats.
Grape varieties: 50% Petit Manseng, 50% Gros Manseng
