DOMAINE BORDENAVE
The Bordenave estate is one of the oldest in the Jurançon appellation. Indeed, its history dates back to 1676. However, it was in 1993 that its first vintage was released for sale. He is held by the dynamic Gisèle who, already at the time of his parents, was in charge of the vines. It has completely restructured wine production by modernising the cellars and rethinking the work of the vine, now in organic and sustainable agriculture. The management is done in family, always in the respect of the soil and traditions to obtain the best quality. The grape variety is composed of small and large manseng, traditionally linked to Jurançon, but also of older, typically local varieties such as Caramalet, Courbu and Lauzet. Sweet wines with aromas of honey and candied fruit, very good dry wines, very fruity: the estate is a reference of choice that aims for excellence in each vintage. The wines have poetic names: Souvenirs d'enfance, Les Copains d'abord, Le Cercle des Amis or Terre de Mémoire, all applauded by critics in specialized magazines. The estate has a beautiful view of the great starred restaurants in Paris and around the world.
