Tasting Note

Lusciously off-dry with concentrated tropical fruit (pineapple, mango), citrus marmalade, honey and sweet spices, bright saline minerality and piercing acidity that keeps sweetness balanced; long, exotic finish.

Food Pairing

Foie gras, blue cheeses, fruit‑based desserts (tarte tatin), roasted duck with orange; Asian: Thai green curry, spicy Szechuan dishes, Cantonese roast pork, rich sushi (uni).

Production Method

Late-harvest Petit Manseng, hand-harvested with successive sorting; fermented (often in barrels/large wood) using natural yeasts and aged on lees; low alcohol, significant residual sugar balanced by high acidity.

Vineyard Info

Produced by the Dagueneau family (Didier’s legacy continued by son Louis‑Benjamin/Benjamin), working terraced organically farmed vineyards around Aubertin/Pau on puddingstone/calcareous soils.
