Camin Larredya Jurancon Sec La Part Davant 2024
The blend highlights native grapes of the region: approx. 50% gros manseng, 35% petit manseng, and 15% petit courbu. All fruit is hand-harvested. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed, with about 10% of the mansengs receiving brief skin contact to enhance aromatics and texture. Fermentation and élevage are thoughtfully divided: one-third in barrique, one-third in foudre, and one-third in amphora. Malolactic fermentation typically does not occur, preserving the wine’s tension and precision.
On the nose, the wine is layered and refined—remarkably subtle for a manseng-based blend—with aromas of orange blossom, lemon verbena, and star fruit. The palate is dry, vibrant, and tightly structured, driven by a backbone of bracing acidity that keeps everything lifted and precise. A faint grainy tannin on the finish adds depth and dimension.
This is an amazing and unique wine to enjoy now, but it will gain even more complexity with a few years of cellaring.
La Part Davant is the introductory white wine from Camin Larredya, sourced from vineyards surrounding the family estate in La Chapelle-de-Rousse. The vines sit on south-facing poudingues—a distinctive sandy-clay soil studded with cemented pebbles—ideal for producing vibrant, structured white wines. The estate is farmed biodynamically, with meticulous attention to site expression.
