Domaine Laguilhon Jurançon Sec is pale lemon in colour, this dry Jurançon has charming aromas of citrus and white flowers. On the palate, this wine has bright accents of citrus fruit and a subtle minerality that carries through to the long, refreshing finish.
Domaine Laguilhon is owned by viticulturalist Henri Estreboou. The domaine is named after a shepherd’s crook (aiguillon) owing to its hilltop location, where sheep used to pass in order to get to the fields to graze.
All the grapes were hand harvested at optimum ripeness and underwent a moderate pressing before fermentation occurred in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine matured for six months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
There are 12 hectares planted with Gros and Petit Manseng. The vines are south facing and sit at 350 metres above sea level, which enables the grapes to fully ripen. The soil is called "poudingue de Jurançon" (derived from the word pudding). It is composed of fragments of round stones and alluvial sediment, which provides excellent drainage in this wet region (1200mm of rain per year).
