2020 vintage. Nothing to be found about this "Vignes de Silène" on the website of the famous Jurançon producer Domaine Cauhapé. Probably a supermarket only label, but it's gorgeous and cheap (8 euros). Pear, green apple and floral notes. A very round mouthfeel , but also crisp and juicy. Very good length. Terrific value. Try with the local Mont Cayol cheese (tastes like something in between a Tome de Savoie and a Parmigiano). Abv. 14%. — a year ago
Last day of November and the Christmas lights up. I had this wine in LA when I first met my wife, so it has a special place in my heart. 💛 — 5 years ago

matured fruits flavours and beeswax, waxy texture making heavy first impression. but slight bitterness, spiciness, and high acidity lift this wine.

Dessert wine from the southwest of France. A little lighter than Sauternes. Quite nice. A little tropical fruit, banana and pineapple. Dulce de leche. — 10 years ago

Striking wine. Explosive nose of citrus fruit, white flower and spice. On the palate this is rich and impactful, yet with gorgeous acidity keeping things lively. This pulls off the balancing act between unctuousness and great precision. Love the bitter twang of grapefruit pith on the finish, along with saline minerality. This is head turning and simply outstanding. Gros Manseng 30 %
