2020 Jurancon Uroulat, Charles Hours

Pyrenean Golden Hour

A luminous sweet Jurançon with all the glow and lift that makes Petit Manseng so magical. Honeyed apricot, pineapple, orange peel and quince rise from the glass, followed by acacia, ginger, saffron and a cool mineral line. It is rich and golden, but never heavy, with bright acidity cutting through the sweetness and giving the wine energy, balance and wonderful age-worthy poise.

For when
You want a sweet wine that feels elegant, exotic and completely alive.

Pairs with
Lemon tart, tarte Tatin, blue cheese, foie gras, fruit desserts, almond pastries, panna cotta or a quiet glass after dinner.

Charles Hours is one of the great characters of Jurançon, working at Clos Uroulat in Monein with his daughter Marie. The estate sits in the foothills of the Pyrenees, where warm, dry winds help the grapes concentrate naturally on the vine. Their wines are admired for purity, generosity and remarkable longevity, capturing both the wild mountain freshness and golden richness of this historic appellation.
