The Jurançon grape is a cross between Folle Blanche and Cot (Malbec). It is a rustic but fruit-driven grape variety, and it is this expression that we wanted to capture with fermentation in a small tank, racking after about fifteen days. It is blended with Mérille and Béquignol and aged for one year in amphorae.
Why 'La Dame Noire' for the name of this cuvée? Because legislation prohibits us from mentioning Jurançon Noir on the label, to avoid confusion with the famous eponymous appellation. We therefore named it 'La Dame Noire', the secondary name for this grape variety.
