Grape varieties: Gros Manseng, Petit Courbu, Petit Manseng & Camaralet
Terroir: Gros and Petit Manseng on siliceous clay and clay-limestone soils; Petit Courbu and Camaralet on ferruginous sandstone (clay-loam with numerous degraded iron-rich stones). South-west and east exposures.
Ageing: On fine lees in stainless steel and various wooden vessels depending on the vintage.
Tasting notes: Very fruity with marked freshness, this is a classic dry Jurançon, ideal as an aperitif. It pairs wonderfully with charcuterie and cured ham, but also with matured fresh goat’s cheese, seafood or fish rillettes.
🍷 Serving temperature: 10–12°C
Drawing on his experience abroad, Franck Lihour took over the five-generation family estate, Domaine Castéra, in 2014. The vines are tended with farmer’s wisdom, guided by observation and intuition. Vineyard care relies on natural treatments (copper, sulphur, essential oils…) while the soils are nourished with manure, crushed rock and a wide diversity of plants (cereals, legumes, crucifers). Harvesting is done by hand with successive selections; winemaking is deliberately simple and ageing gentle, in stainless steel or large vessels. The result is authentic wines that are at once fruity and profound, expressing all the minerality of Jurançon’s finest terroirs.
