From late harvest grapes, this concentrated sweet wine balances great freshness with a smooth creamy texture with flavors of orange zest, honey and spice. It is rich and concentrated, while the acidity shoots through the aftertaste.

A zesty, lemon wine, with an intriguing series of herbal and animal flavors, this is not a wine to go unnoticed. It has weight, with spice and nut flavors adding to the fruit. Drink with shellfish or sharp cheese.

Domaine Bellegarde 2008 Cuvée Tradition Gros Manseng (Jurançon)
Sweet, yes, but not intensely so, more a sweet apéritif sweet wine for blue cheese or ham. The botrytis gives the wine a drier character, while the honey element leads straight into citrus.
