Description: Over 400 years ago, King Henry IV gave his letters of nobility to Jurançon wine. In 1964 Pierres-Yves Latrille, a visionary spirit, planted the first plots of vineyards in Jurancon. Since then, Château Jolys has built a reputation as a vineyard with a singular character producing fine wines, full of elegance and delicacy. Château Jolys is one of the first independent producers of Jurançon. Thanks to the draining silico-clay soil and ideal hillside exposure, the vine flourishes and produces ripe, healthy grapes with a unique profile. The wine reveals an expressive and complex nose with fresh exotic fruits and floral notes and a finish of candied mango, apricot preserve, and gingerbread.
Food pairings: Blue cheese, dark chocolate, fruit salads (apricots, mango, etc.), spicy chicken curry, lemongrass, Thai basil, etc.
