Ahead of the curve in the Jurançon

The horseshoe-shaped vineyard rows are the signature of the Jurançon region. They’re not just a beautiful sight. These traditional curved vineyards allow for the most sun exposure, so the fruit can ripen perfectly, while the cooling ocean influence locks in a vibrant freshness. For ages, the sweet wines have been the calling card of the region (they were even a favorite of royalty since the 16th century).

Now, the region’s dry whites are quietly becoming a favorite of wine insiders and serious enthusiasts. A recent report from The Wine Advocate said the region was “undergoing a Copernican revolution, complementing its traditional sweet bottlings with increasing volumes of some of the most exciting dry white wines in the area…All the elements are aligned to make the appellation a top destination for wine lovers.”

As usual, our fans were ahead of the curve. The first round of Vineyard Partners had already secured our entire allocation of that year’s vintage in just a few weeks—before The Wine Advocate could rate it 90 points.
