Clos Lapeyre, Jurancon Sec 2007 This wine is intensly acidic with great concentration of tart, green fruit. The intensity is on a par with what you get in the great Semillons of the Hunter, with an appropriate, underripe character. It’s reminiscent of tasting not only the flesh of the fruit, but also savoring the pitch. This wine won’t be for everyone yet I love it. The grapes behind this wine are all Gros Manseng sourced mostly from the vineyard named Herrua. Mis en bouteille par Jean-Bernard Larrieu in La Chapelle de Rousse in Jurancon 12.5% $14.99 at K&L Clos Lapeyre
