Domaine Cauhapé

DESCRIPTION

Between Biarritz and Lourdes, facing the Pyrenees in heart of Bearn, Henri Ramonteu produces dry and sweet white wines from an exceptional terroir, the land of Domaine Cauhape.

The wines of Jurançon with their fruity, complex aroma and elegant golden colour, will assuredly enchant lovers of fine, signature wines.

The vineyard covers 42 hectares. The vines are planted on the steep hillsides. With a south, south-east exposure and differing altitude between the parcels of vines (the highest 400m) the vines benefit from optimum climatic conditions.

We cultivate five local grape-varieties. Petit Manseng contributes to the making of great sweet wines and equally to great dry wines. Gros Manseng and Courbu bring finesse and fruit. Camaralet and Lauzet are ancient varieties that we are reintroducing little by little to give birth to a new generation of dry Jurançon wines.

Domaine Cauhapé combines a beautiful alchemy, a history of love and passion for the vines that we garden, with the raisins that we press, with the juice that we guide through fermentation, with the barrels that we age attentively and with the bottles we dress. Depending on the year, 8 or 9 wines are created with passion
