Jurancon is a wine obtained from a blend of Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng and a small part of Courbu. The grapes, all indigenous to South-West France, come from 2 hectares of vineyards planted in the 1940s. Aging takes place in barrels where it remains in contact with the yeasts for a year. It then spends 6 months in steel tanks before being bottled. The nose expresses aromas of custard, aromatic herbs and citrus fruits that prepare a mouth with electrifying acidity.

Le Rayon by Thomas Puéchavy is a Chenin Blanc based white wine produced in the Loire Valley. Aging for about 9 months in old oak tonneaux. No filtration or addition of sulfites. The result is a wine with aromas of white flowers and aromatic herbs, very mineral and iodized notes. The mouth follows in the footsteps of the nose, revealing itself as refined, fresh and elegant.
