Clos Larrouyat Meteor

Clos Larrouyat

Météore 2020

Jurançon sec AOC

France - Sud-Ouest

Those who like acidity and tension will find it in the wines of Maxime (oenologist with a degree from Bordeaux) and Lucie Salharang (engineer in mechanical design), but also something to talk about with the sharp precision of the small and large mansengs of the Béarn region in altitude. Beyond the first consistency, one must go far to find the depth, without forgetting that beyond the flesh, there is first of all the spirit.
The spirit of Larrouyat is that of a place, a vineyard of barely 3 hectares, those of the grandfather, planted from 2011 with Petit Manseng, in Gan, on a soil of marl on Trias, exposed to the east, deprived of the setting sun which makes the degree.
The Clos Larrouyat thus has the unique privilege of being the sole master of a terroir where the grapes struggle to reach 13° and of producing the most easily digestible wines of the appellation.

                                              

    Grape varieties :
60% gros manseng and 40% petit manseng.

    Tasting notes:

In this dry and straight wine, it is the gros manseng that mainly expresses itself, built under a precious woody note that tells of the citrus fruits of jurançon. Slight notes of ageing reveal an expressive nose of yellow fruit (candied apple and pear), citrus and lime blossom. Full body carried by a sharp, mineral and saline backbone. Pleasant and well constructed on the edge of acidity.

    Wine style :

Dry, aromatic and complex white wine.

    Food and wine pairing :    

Slices of eel with glazed carrots. Turbot cooked with bones, fennel and hazelnut sauce, orange beurre blanc.

    Ageing potential :

8 years.
