Domaine Arretxea
Hegoxuri Irouléguy Petit Courbu Blend
Irouléguy, Pyrénees-Atlantiques, Southwest France, France
Deep yellow in the glass with yellow orchard fruits, berries and exotic citrus on the nose. Green plum, apricot, gooseberry, husk cherry on the palate, just ripe fruits with a grapefruit pith finish. Textured but dry and sharp, lacks seduction. Story may change in a few years.

Oct 24th, 2021Bouquet of citrus, rocks and spring meadow. Palate opens with a spritz of mouth puckering lemon and adds apple cider, baking spice, marzipan, white flowers and fennel to the mix. Bangin’ but could use a few years for the raging untamed acidity to settle down. Note—this is actually mostly Gros and Petit Manseng in case you’re a stickler for indigenous Basque grapes
