Clos Lapeyre - Jurançon - La Magendia du Clos Lapeyre Blanc 2007

Wine:

La Magendia, deemed "the best" of Clos Lapeyre, possesses the highest degree of concentration of the estate. With the 2007 vintage, it brings to the fore the exotic palatability that makes Jurançon so attractive: with an aromatic mix totally based on mango, passion fruit and the thick texture of the apricot. A top class wine!

Lovely golden colour.

Exotic mango, passion fruit and apricot aromas on the nose.

Palate:

Rich and unctuous on the palate, superb thick, concentrated texture.

Owned by the Larrieu family since 1985, this estate is now among the appellation's most popular. Like a metronome perfectly marking the tempo, Jean-Bernard Larrieu masters the vinification and aging of his wines wonderfully well, including the most prestigious Vitatge Vielh and La Magienda.
