Intense, unusual white, characteristic of the region, near Toullousse. Very interesting.

I have been intrigued by the wines of Jurançon lately, as they have the potential to offer a great play between sweetness and freshness. The level of residual sugar plays off course a pivotal role here. In my opinion, lower levels allow the acidity to shine, the wine's real backbone. This is a more concentrated Jurancon, perhaps a bit too much. It is a young wine though, so perhaps it will improve with age. For now however, the vibrancy is not there (yet).

Incredible paired with foiegras tart.
