Description
In a nutshell:
A great fresh and ripe citrusy white from the Jurançon in South West France.
The lowdown:
Cauhapé's 'L'Éclipse' is a blend of local variety Gros Manseng and the rare Lauzet grape of which there are only a few vineyards in existence and though only labelled as 'Vin de France' that takes nothing away of the complexity and quality of this wine. Pronounced aromas of ripe citrus, white stone fruits and spice lead onto a crisp and refreshing palate with a real depth of concentration to the lemon citrus, stone and tropical fruit flavours, all with a slightly spicy, tangy edge.
The Producer:
Domaine Cauhapé sits in the foothills of the Pyrenees, southwest of Pau, the heartland of Jurançon wines. Henri Ramonteau founded the estate in the 1970s, transitioning from the family's cattle farm to winemaking. Today, Domaine Cauhapé is considered one of the best in the Jurançon appellation. They produce classic expressions of the region's dry white wines and the famous dessert wines the area is known for. Its a quiet testament to Henris vision and the unique terroir of this part of France.
When to drink:
The wine will open up and develop over a few hours to the following day. Perfect as an aperitif or with tapas, works well with sushi, shellfish and lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
Suitable for Vegetarians
