Jurançon Sec La Part Davant Camin Larredya 2019

The wine

Produced from archetypal local varieties, La Part Davant is from a terroir rich in clay, flint and pudding stones. The grapes are cultivated organically, picked at optimum maturity and fermented with native yeasts. The wine is then matured for 8 months on the lees in barrique barrels and foudre tuns. On tasting, the vivacity of its flavour notes (fresh fruit, minerals) complements a palate with volume and plenty of fruit. This makes the wine the perfect partner for fish in sauce or white meat.

About the Producer Camin Larredya

Jean-Marc Grussaute has successfully propelled this little Jurançon gem of a domaine to the top tier of the appellation with his eclectic output of dry and sweet white wines. The story goes that this domaine acquired in 1900 only began to cultivate vines in 1970, when Petit and Gros Manseng varieties were introduced. Jean-Marc Grussaute came to the family domaine 1988 to help out his mother. Today he has a dozen staff of his own. He uses organic techniques, and achieved certification in 2007. The grapes are harvested by hand and yields are small. In the vineyard and cellars, he focuses on letting the terroir express itself perfectly. This is a quintessential Pyrenean domaine which the iDealwine team wholeheartedly endorses, having sampled its wines on more than one occasion!
