Charles Hours Jurancon Clos Uroulat

Description

The Clos Uroulat Jurançon is 100% Petit Manseng harvested in November. As with the dry version of this wine this cuvée spends up to eleven months in barrel, although the proportion of new wood may be higher, up to 25%. It is one of the top sweet Jurançon available, elegant and grand, with exotic flavours of acacia, lots of minerals, quince and pineapple supported by a fine underlying acidity.

Intense tropical fruit, citrus fruit, white flower and apricot with a discreet and elegant touch of oak, the racy acidity is ever present and complement to perfection the full body and gorgeous sweetness of the wine. With dessert, but also as an aperitif, with Roquefort cheese or ideally, with terrine de foie gras, this is from the South-West of France after all.

“A gorgeous sweet wine that deserves to be better-known. Charles Hours fashions subtle scented wines, full of refreshing pineapple fruits that balance sweetness with a tangy acidity. Perfect with fruit tarts.” John Wilson, Irish Times
