2 Jurançon Sec AC 2010
Domaine de Lahargue

Grape:80% Gros Manseng, 20% Camaralet (13.5% alc.)

Aromas of citrus fruits draw you in, there is a burst of fruit – ripe grapefruit and passion fruit, a nice balance of acidity and minerality from the gritty marl, then a long finish. For drinking now to 2012.
