2024 Domaine De Souch, Jurancon Sec, Cuvee Monplaisir

Domaine de Souch, founded by the late Yvonne Hegoburu in the 1980s, has long been one of Jurançon’s most respected estates, known for meticulous organic farming and an unwavering commitment to expressing the Pyrenean foothills with purity. Built around Gros Manseng with a touch of Petit Manseng from steep, windswept terraces overlooking the Ossau Valley. The combination of altitude, sandy-clay soils, and constant mountain ventilation shapes the wine’s hallmark structure and drive. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, Monplaisir is crafted to showcase the clarity and precision that define the estate’s style. It remains one of the region’s essential expressions of dry Jurançon and a benchmark for the Manseng varieties. Snappy, bright, and bursting with hints of lime and orchard fruits.
