Cami Salié Jurançon Sec

Description

This wine comes from the Jurançon Sec region of France, in the Pyrenees Mountains. The grapes for the wine come from three hectares of land, in two regions, from mountainous vineyards. The Monein grapes ripen in warmer weather and earlier, producing a more full-bodied wine. Chapelle de Rousse grapes are located in a cooler growth place, where grapes ripen later and produce a vigorous acidic wine. There is a road on the north side of the appellation, on which ancient Béarn salt was transported to Pau. The salt road is called ’Cami-Salíe’, which can also be found in the name of this wine. The region has a marine climate during the grape growing season, cool and damp. But autumn is often hot and dry, due to southern winds (Foehn effect). The wine is pressed slowly and gently, to capture fruitiness and aromas. The majority of wines is fermented in temperature-controlled tanks, a small part in oak casks. There is no malolactic fermentation. The product is matured for another ten months,
