DECANT SF WILL BE CLOSED FOR A PRIVATE EVENT THE EVENING OF SATURDAY, MARCH 8th.
Domaine Cauhapé, situated in the heart of Jurançon, is renowned for its dedication to indigenous grape varieties and meticulous vineyard management, producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.
- WINEMAKER: Henri Ramonteu
- FARMING: Practicing sustainable viticulture with a focus on preserving nature and respecting the terroir.
- VARIETY: A blend of Gros Manseng (80%) and Lauzet (20%).
- TERROIR: The vineyards are planted on southeast-facing slopes with clay-silica soils, providing optimal sun exposure and drainage.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested in early September using small-volume crates. Grapes undergo destemming followed by 12 hours of skin maceration. Pneumatic pressing with juice selection precedes fermentation and maturation on total lees for five months. Malolactic fermentation is carried out on 20% of the volume.
- AGING: Aged on total lees for five months to enhance complexity and mouthfeel.
-
TASTING NOTES: The nose exhibits a beautiful intensity with aromas of white-fleshed fruits, complemented by delightful notes of citrus and spice. On the palate, a round and supple attack develops into a magnificent palette of fruity and exotic flavors.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal as an aperitif or at the beginning of a meal. Pairs well with tapas, sushi, and brunch dishes.
