UGO SUR LE FIL GUIRARDEL 2016
Ugo Sur Le Fil Guirardel 2016,
Domaine Guirardel, Monein, Pyrenees Atlantique
70% Petit Manseng, 30% Gros Manseng
Ugo, Domaine Guirardel is run by Françoise Casaubieilh and Pierre Coulomb In Monein in the PyrĂ©nĂ©es-Atlantiques in prime Jurançon country. Françoise and Pierre are some of the most exciting, experimental and respected wine makers in France, having both set on making the Jurançon region the next Jura. Petit Manseng grape (the child of Juraâs Savagnin as well as parent of Gros Manseng) is late harvested and 'passerillĂ©' or dried by the Foehn winds. Usually destined for sweet âmoelleuxâ Jurançon, the juice is fermented to become bone-dry, something previously thought impossible without producing unacceptably high alcohol levels, making this wine the effective French white wine counterpart to Amarone.Â
The wine was aged in old 400ltr oak barrels for two years & bottled without any sulphur. It has a complex expressive nose of candied quince, ripe apricot, tropical fruits, cinnamon, & dried vanilla pod. The powerful multi-layered mouthfeel is perfectly balanced by mouth-watering bitters, zesty acids & a lengthy minerality. Recalling the nose of sweeter Jurançons and the bracing acidity, texture, salinity & nuttiness of Jura dry Savagnins.Â
