Foehn

• France
• AOP Jurançon
• Petit Manseng 85%, Gros Manseng 15%

• Sweet

• Acidic

Because of its acidity, Foehn Jurançon is so fresh that it can be served as an aperitif despite its sweetness. In addition, the French have a wide range of sweet aperitifs. Traditional French cuisine offers many opportunities for this wine: foie gras, pineapple roasted chicken, different curries, cheeses, especially sheep milk cheeses from the Pyrenees, Cantal and Roquefort, desserts, fruit pies and pancakes.

Aroma

The scent is reminiscent of ripe tropical fruit, pineapple, mango, lychee, apricot, beeswax, vanilla, ginger and white truffles

Taste

Sweet, mouth-filling on the palate, pleasantly acidic, maturely fruity, notes of honey, notes of vanilla and mild spices

Description

Foehn Jurançon is a great specialty: its grapes, 85% Petit Manseng and 15% Gros Manseng, are not included in the quick course on wines, and are, of course, hand-picked. They come from two different types of high slope vineyards, of which Monein is warm and yields an early, rich and full-bodied wine the Chapelle de Rousse is cooler and ripens later, making the wine acidic and lively. Before harvesting, the water content of the sweet wine grapes must be reduced and the amount of sugar increased, this is promoted by the warm Foehn wind blowing in the region in autumn, from which the wine derives its name.

Yksi heistä on Lionel Osmin ja ideasta, jota kukaan ei ollut aiemmin yrittänyt, tuli totta vuonna 2010. Alue on Read more
