Notes from the producer:
"Camin Larredya is a small estate in Jurançon, a wine appellation spread throughout the Bearnaise hills in the South-West of France. Jean-Marc Grussaute runs this small estate, that uses the local word "Camin", which means road, instead of domaine in its title. He has been farming organically since 2007 with his first certified vintage being in 2010. To call Jean-Marc a rising star would be an understatement. Since taking over the family domaine in 1988 at age 20, he has elevated the entire appellation with his ambitious winemaking and farming. A consistent darling of the Revue des Vins de France, the only thing keeping Jean-Marc's wines affordable is their relative obscurity outside of southwestern France. Across all cuvees, his wines are textbook examples of the classic profile of Jurancon wines."
'La Virada' 2023 is a masterful expression of dry Jurançon, crafted by Jean-Marc Grussaute from organic vineyards in the foothills of the Pyrenees. This blend of Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng, Petit Courbu, and Camaralet is celebrated for its tension and depth, balancing high-toned acidity with a rich, textural palate. The 2023 vintage delivers an intense aromatic profile of exotic fruits like pineapple and mango alongside delicate white flowers and a signature saline minerality. Highly regarded by critics for its precision and age-worthiness, it is a sophisticated white wine that pairs exceptionally well with grilled seafood, creamy poultry dishes, or aged sheep’s milk cheeses.
