Chateau Cauhape Jurancon Quintessence Du Petit Manseng 375ml 2010
100% Petit Manseng picked during the second half of December in 3 or 4 successive tries, yielding a miniscule 9hl/ha. Very slowly whole-bunch pressed, then transferred to 100% new French oak barriques for fermentation, followed by further maturation for two years or more. 14% Alc/Vol; 122g/l RS.
A very complex nose, reminiscent of Sauternes, shows a multitude of exotic fruits, both fresh and candied, from fresh mango to ripe apricot and candied loquat. There are notes of grilled citrus and praline that add further complexity to a palate of great volume and texture, finishing with outstanding length, persistence and balance.
