THE COMPANY

Henry Ramonteu is one of the great protagonists in the rebirth of Jurançon but above all of Petit Manseng, considered by everyone to be an extraordinary grape variety. The Domaine is located between Biarritz and Lourdes, looks onto the Pyrenees and the vineyards, which faces south-east, are characterized by majority of clay terroir with some vines planted at an altitude of up to 400 meters. The Petit Manseng, a great interpreter of dry wines and “moelleux”, together with Gros Manseng and Corbu, which are delicate and fruity, and with Camaralet and Lauzet, old recovered varieties, find the ideal position for expressing the great potential of the Jurançon area at his best in the Monein hills.
