DOMAINE HAUGAROT OH! La Roue Voilée 2022 VdF (Béarn) 75cl White

Grape Varieties: 80% Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng & Courbu

Tasting Notes: A striking oxidative Jura wine with a golden hue and intense aromas of roasted walnuts, dried apples, and a hint of curry spice. The palate is lively yet structured, with a saline minerality and a long, nutty finish reminiscent of fine aged Sherry.
A true favourite for lovers of Jura wines, capturing a similar character but with a lighter touch. Crafted right here in Jura-nçon... 😉

🍷 Serving Temperature: 12-13°C

Jean-Pierre Proharam founded his estate in 2004. His father already owned some vines, with the harvest being sold to the local cooperative. Located on the hillsides of Lasseube, his vineyards enjoy excellent exposure, with the stunning Pic du Midi d'Ossau as a backdrop.

Jean-Pierre is highly attentive to the environment and the well-being of his vines; everything is cultivated using organic and biodynamic farming, with a strong focus on careful observation! Deeply attached to Occitan culture, the names of his cuvées reflect this heritage: Sonque Ta Tu ("Nothing but for you," dedicated to his daughter) and Esberit ("Spirited" for his son).

A fun fact: for four generations, the eldest son in the family has been named Jean in tribute to the Pic du Midi d'Ossau, which locals affectionately call "Jean-Pierre"!
