Jurançon
Jurançon is a wine region located in the southwest of France, specifically in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department. It is renowned for its sweet white wines made primarily from the Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng grape varieties. The region benefits from a unique microclimate, which allows for the development of botrytis cinerea, or noble rot, enhancing the sweetness and complexity of the wines.
The Jurançon wines are often characterized by their fruity and floral aromas, with flavors of apricot, honey, and citrus. They are typically enjoyed as dessert wines but can also pair well with savory dishes. The region has a rich winemaking history, dating back to the 14th century, and continues to produce high-quality wines today.
