The vines are planted on the hillside, facing south and overlooking the Pyrenees and the Pic du Midi d'Ossau. The estate has been under biodynamic management since 1994. Vines are planted on the south-facing hillside and are made up of 50 per cent \u003cstrong\u003ePetit Manseng\u003c\/strong\u003e and 50 per cent \u003cstrong\u003eGros Manseng\u003c\/strong\u003e. These vines are known for their sweet flavours and late harvests. Aside from their unique sweetness, these wines are perhaps best known historically as those used to rub the lips of King Henry IV of Navarre at his baptism, granting him courage and charisma (so the story goes).\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDomaine de Souch is a 6,5 hectares wine estate created by \u003cem\u003eYvonne Hegoburu\u003c\/em\u003e,  a \"\u003cem\u003eGrande Dame\u003c\/em\u003e\" with a particular story.
