Camin Larredya, Jurançon Sec, La Part Davant, South West, France, 2021

Producer Profile

Jean Marc Grussaute is producing some of the most sought after Jurançons at his 11ha Camin Larredya.

The dry wines are precise, powerful, but fresh and perfectly balanced. The sweet wines also display the same liveliness and precision; the residual sweetness is always in harmony with the crisp, balancing acidity.

Viticulture

The majority of the vineyard, planted by Jean-Marc’s father 40 years ago, is terraced and lies on steep and curved slopes that form an amphitheater. The vineyard is planted to 60% Petit Manseng and 37% Gros Manseng and 3% Petit Courbu. Jean-Marc Grussaute began estate bottling in 1988. He has farmed organically since 2007 with the first certified vintage being 2010. Jean-Marc names his wines after the vineyard parcels from which they come.

Tasting Note

Rich, creamy mouthfeel with broad acidity, rocky mineral flavors and notes of orchard fruits and white flowers.

Food Matching

Fresh goat cheese or mild creamy cheeses or light poultry dishes, like roast chicken with herbs.
