Chateau Jolys 2020 Vendanges Tardives AOP Jurançon is a refined dessert wine that expresses the distinctive character of late-harvested Petit Manseng grapes. This golden wine is marked by intense aromas of tropical fruit such as mango and pineapple, together with honey, apricot jam and a subtle hint of almond. The palate is rich and luscious, with a silky texture and a pleasing balance between sweetness and refreshing acidity that leads to an invigorating finish. The grapes for this wine are only picked in late autumn, once the sun has shrivelled them and concentrated their sugars, resulting in a full, complex flavour. The terroir of the Jurançon region, with its clay- and limestone-rich soils, contributes to the wine’s minerality and depth, while the cool nights preserve its acidity. With this Vendanges Tardives, Chateau Jolys has created a wine that stands out for its complexity and gastronomic versatility.
Perfect with foie gras, blue cheeses and fruit desserts.
