JEAN-MARC GRUSSAUTE, France

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

Adopting organic and biodynamic farming in the early 2000's, with the first certified organic bottlings from 2010, Jean Marc's vineyards which are in the Chapelle de Rousse area are terraced and are on steep slopes that form an ampitheatre. Planted with 60% Petit Manseng and 37% Gros Manseng and 3% Petit Courbu.

Winemaking

Indigenous yeasts are mostly used and sulphur is only used when absolutely necessary.
