Domaine Camin Larredya - La Part Davant 2024
Domaine Camin Larredya is located in La Chapelle de Rousse, in the Jurançon wine region. It has been owned by Jean-Marc Grussaute since 1988 and was voted "Winemaker of the Year 2023". The Camin Larredya vineyard covers 9.5 hectares, 4 hectares of which are cultivated on terraces. The vines are managed using certified organic farming methods , and each vintage comes from a specific plot. The estate also purchases conventional grapes from Christian Pédéflous and Philippe Vigneau and Sylvie and David Lacazette.
La Part Davant is a blend of Gros Manseng (50%), Petit Manseng (35%) and Petit Courbu (15%) grown in the eastern part of the vineyard. The vines are aged between 10 and 80 years old and are planted on a clay-siliceous terroir on weathered puddingstone subsoils. After manual harvesting, the whole bunches are put into direct pressing. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in 225-litre barrels, 5% of which are new, and in 2,500-litre tuns. Malolactic conversion is partially carried out. The wine is aged for 6 months on lees , in terracotta jars (34%), in 225-litre barrels (33%) and in 2,500-litre tuns (33%).
This is an emblematic Jurançon cuvée, revealing all the finesse and precision of the estate. Its nose seduces with intense aromas of exotic fruits , candied citrus fruits and white flowers , subtly enhanced with hints of honey. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: a lively freshness carried by a beautiful mineral tension combines with a full and creamy substance, offering a persistent and elegant finish. A wine of character, both gourmet and refined, which embodies the excellence of Camin Larreyda and which will seduce both lovers of great sweet wines and collectors in search of rarity.
Grape varieties: 50% Gros Manseng, 35% Petit Manseng, 15% Petit Courbu
