This luscious yet balanced wine has aromas of fresh pineapple and honey. These wines offer great value and showcase what this great wine producing region does best.
Domaine Laguilhon Jurançon Doux is lively golden in colour, this luscious wine shows expressive notes of exotic fruits, such as mango and pineapple, and hints of honey blossom combined with a vivid acidity, which gives a refreshing finish and a beautiful balance.
The sweet Jurançon Doux is picked later, during the last two weeks of October, to allow the grapes to raisin on the vine, concentrating the sugars and the acidity. It is also a 50/50 blend of Gros and Petit Manseng.
Domaine Laguilhon is owned by viticulturalist Henri Estreboou. The domaine is named after a shepherd’s crook (aiguillon) owing to its hilltop location, where sheep used to pass in order to get to the fields to graze.

Terroir
The soil is called poudingue de Jurançon (derived from the word pudding) and is composed of fragments of round stones and alluvial sediment which provides excellent drainage in this wet region (1200 mm of rain per year).
