Domaine De Souch Jurançon Moelleux Cuvee Marie Kattalin 500mL 2015
Domaine de Souch Cuvée Marie Kattalin 2015 is an outstanding biodynamic sweet wine from the prestigious Jurançon appellation in South West France. Produced exclusively from late-harvest Petit Manseng grown on steep, south-facing slopes overlooking the Pyrenees, this exceptional cuvée combines richness, concentration and vibrant acidity in a style that is both luxurious and beautifully balanced.
Named after Marie Kattalin, the granddaughter of estate founder Yvonne Hegoburu, this wine reflects the family heritage and meticulous craftsmanship that have made Domaine de Souch one of Jurançon's most respected producers. The estate has been farmed biodynamically since 1994, with vineyards perched at 332 metres above sea level on distinctive clay and limestone soils rich in local puddingstone, known as "Poudingue".
The Petit Manseng grapes are left on the vine until late autumn, allowing natural passerillage to concentrate flavours, sugars and acidity. The result is a wine of remarkable complexity and ageing potential, showcasing the unique character of Jurançon's flagship variety.
Tasting Notes
Intense aromas of apricot, candied citrus, pineapple, quince paste and acacia honey lead to a rich, layered palate. Notes of marmalade, dried stone fruits and exotic tropical fruit are balanced by bright natural acidity, creating a wine that is luscious yet precise, with exceptional length and elegance.
