Tasting Note
Aromas of exotic fruit, mangoes and apricots, generous on the palate with crisp fruit. The Petit Manseng grown in Pacherenc du Vic Bilh or Jurançon is much appreciated by sommeliers, who pair it wonderfully with the region's foie gras. It can also be served as an aperitif or with chocolate or yellow fruit desserts.
