Tasting Notes
The wine shares many of the honey and citrus characteristics and style of Sauternes and Barsac wines from Bordeaux; but thankfully available for less than half the price!
The Story
From the small and fabulous region of Jurancon, La Magendia (meaning “the best” in Occitan, the ancient language of the area) is produced from hand picked Petit Manseng grapes harvested late in the season and have been affected by botrytis; the natural sugar levels are increased byt yields are reduced.
Food Matches
Have this at the beginning and end of your meal – foie gras to start and tart tartin to finish are classic choices of Pyrenean cuisine
