Château Jolys 2007 Cuvée Jean Petit Manseng (Jurançon)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A wine that is in an in-between stage from youthful freshness to maturity. There is sweetness, a layer of botrytis, crisp sweet apple character, fading and becoming more toffee-like. The acidity, though, remains. Wait another year.

With flavors of the freshest pears, green herbs and perfumed white currants, this is a deliciously enticing wine. The acidity is bright, crisp, but it is attractively filled out with ripe fruits and a wonderful herbal character.

Château Jolys 2008 Cuvée Pauline Petit Manseng (Jurançon Sec)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
The wine is textured, layered with minerality, green apple skins, peppered pears and acidity. It is very young, a work in progress as the wood integrates with the fruit. But, over 2–3 years, it will develop into a ripe, full-bodied wine.

Honey flavored wine, packed with botrytis and also with intense acidity. That makes the wine light, dancing, while also showing richness. It is all so light, delicate, so delicious.

Château Jolys 2010 Cuvée Jean Petit Manseng (Jurançon)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
This sweet wine balances acidity with honeyed fruit. There is a touch of botrytis to go with the orange marmalade and lemon peel flavors, while the citrus-like acids cut across the palate. This is fine to drink now, yet it will also age for many years.

Château Jolys 2008 White (Jurançon)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
While there is some botrytis here, this wine is not heavily into that style. Rather it shows freshness, with its white currant and grapefruit acidity and delicate perfume. There is a fine core of sweet apple skin tannins to finish.
