Domaine Cauhapé
Les Vignes de Silène Jurancon Sec White Blend
Jurançon, Southwest France, France
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%.
