Château Lafitte - Jurançon Sec 2018
Château Lafitte is a former manor house from the 14th century, located in Monein, between Pau and Oloron Sainte-Marie, in the Pyrénées Atlantiques.
The current owners of Château Lafitte, Philippe and Brigitte Arraou, have been undertaking a project for thirty years that has been their dream for a long time: to revive wine production. Since 2012, it is their son Antoine, passionate winemaker, committed to preserving the environment who manages the estate. He developed it from organic farming to biodynamics, and paved the way for natural wines. He produces high quality wines respecting the balance of the land and the vine. The 5-hectare vineyard is made in equal parts of Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng.
Jurançon Sec is a blend of 80% Petit Manseng and 20% Gros Manseng. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in barrels, then the wine is aged for 9 months on fine lees in oak barrels.
