Clos Guirouilh Jurançon Petit Cuyalàa 2011

The Petit Cuyalàa is made from 100% Petit Manseng sourced from 25 to 60 year old vines at a specific site called “Clos Guirouilh.” This terraced vineyard is covered in layers of clay calcareous and sandstone. The grapes were manually harvested in successive passes from November through mid-December.
