Domaine De Souch Jurançon Vendanges Tardives 500ml 2014

Domaine de Souch Jurançon Vendanges Tardives 2014 is a beautifully concentrated late-harvest sweet wine from one of the leading biodynamic estates in Jurançon, South West France. Produced from meticulously selected grapes grown on steep, south-facing slopes overlooking the Pyrenees, this exceptional dessert wine captures the richness, complexity and natural freshness that have made Jurançon famous for centuries.

Founded by Yvonne Hegoburu, Domaine de Souch has been a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture since 1994. The estate's vineyards sit at an altitude of approximately 332 metres and benefit from a unique terroir of clay, limestone and puddingstone soils known locally as "Poudingue". These conditions, combined with extended hang time on the vine, allow the grapes to achieve extraordinary concentration while retaining vibrant natural acidity.

The Vendanges Tardives cuvée is produced from grapes harvested late in the season, allowing flavours, sugars and aromatic compounds to develop fully. The result is a wine of remarkable depth, balance and ageing potential, showcasing the distinctive character of Jurançon's indigenous varieties.

Tasting Notes
Rich and intensely aromatic, with layers of apricot, candied citrus peel, honey, pineapple and quince. The palate is luscious and concentrated, yet beautifully lifted by fresh acidity, delivering notes of marmalade, dried fruits and exotic spice through a long, elegant finish.
