Gros Manseng Petit Manseng Blend

Early Mountain

Petit Manseng 2016

2016 tasted 1/2019. Rich golden yellow. Beautiful floral and honeyed yellow apple aromas. Full bodied with palate of ripe apple and a nice thread of acidity. Very pleasant. Virginia should be growing less Viognier and more petit manseng. — 5 years ago

Ryan, accurate as usual :) The PM is really challenging in the cellar (dealing with high brix vs soaring alcohol) - hard to make the same wine vintage to vintage. Linden/GlenManor make exquisite dessert builds, BTW. I opened a 2008 from Jim that was perfection. Dry or almost dry styles are becoming the new bullseye for winemakers. Michael Shaps 2016 offering is great example! Personally, I am ok with 3-5% RS when the acidity is rocking - love it with Thai & Indian cuisine :) One can hardly tell because of the balance!

Ron, Good to know on the cellar piece. I didn’t know it was difficult to work with. I was just floored by the quality of this one. It was the star of the dinner party as well. Everybody loved it. I agree about the residual sugar in principle although I do tend to gravitate towards drier whites. Thanks for the tips for future bottles. I have a bottle of Linden late harvest PM btw. I don’t remember the vintage off the top of my head but I tasted it at the vineyard. It was exquisite indeed.

At first I was skeptical about a wine from #jurançon costing so much (independently of who made it) but I really must say that it's spectacular and is a world class dessert/#sweetwine #didierdagueneau — 9 years ago

Amazing how this white, mostly Viognier and Marsanne, is completely dominated automatically and on the palate by the 13% Petit Manseng. — 9 years ago

Foehn Jurançon Petit Manseng Gros Manseng 2011

Pretty tasty stuff.. this is my 3rd Jurancon dessert wine in 3 days and they're growing on me. Very peachy with some funk on the nose. Palate is cool because it's not too sweet, but has a nice balancing acidity at the end. Peach, pineapple rind, and a bit of nuttiness. That's fun. — 8 years ago

@Sean Herriott It was very interesting to taste the dry jurancon sec beside this wine. Fun stuff and so unique.

Clos Lapeyre

La Magendia Jurançon Petit Manseng 2014

Dried apricots, passion fruit, pineapple, exotic fruits with honey. Despite all this it has a balanced, prickly, pineapple-esque acidity, vivid and refreshing with notes of apple skin and crisp minerality. Great dessert wine. — 8 years ago

Hegoxuri Irouléguy Petit Courbu Blend 2012

Some smoky flint and poultry jumping out of the glass, the initial off-gas as this bloomed beautifully. The bottle only lasted about 45 minutes out on our table and in that time it settled nicely into a canvas of concentrated minerals white flowers perfect ripeness the right acidity. Lean and muscular, no fat, no human hands present here. Highly recommended. Iroulewhat?! Who would've known? Thanks kermit. Fried food for the win. — 9 years ago
