Petit Manseng
The essence of Jurançon's forgotten and classic varietals
- A wine of genuine sensory pleasure. Cauhape's Quintessence expresses the distinctive character of Petit Manseng through careful late-harvest selection, delivering a moelleux of considerable depth and restraint.
- Harvested at the turn of winter, these grapes achieve optimal noble rot development and concentration. The timing reflects the domaine's commitment to capturing the appellation's finest expression in each vintage.
- A wine built for longevity. Jurançon moelleux of this calibre rewards patience; the structure and acidity ensure graceful evolution over decades, offering collectors a genuine investment in time.

Product features : Cauhape Quintessence Petit Manseng 2010 White 75cl
Breeding
Fermentation and ageing in new oak barrels for approximately 2 years
On the eye
Brilliant golden hue with amber undertones, characteristic of noble rot-affected Petit Manseng.
On the nose
Ripe apricot and praline dominate, with notes of preserved medlar and roasted citrus zest. The aromatic profile speaks to both fruit concentration and the subtle oxidative development of extended élevage.
In the mouth
Beautifully balanced between richness and nervous acidity. The palate reveals grilled and almost chocolatey notes that extend through a lengthy finish, demonstrating the wine's structure and complexity.
This is quintessential Jurançon moelleux—a wine that demands a considered approach to food pairing. Serve it with a refined dessert course: perhaps a tarte Tatin, crème brûlée, or blue cheese. The wine's acidity and structure prevent it from cloying, whilst its depth rewards serious attention. A fine example of why Petit Manseng remains one of France's most underrated white varietals. — Nicolas François
