<p>Petit Manseng / Gros Manseng<br>Les Poudingues 2022-2024<br>Semmartin / Lajibe</p>

Grape Variety: Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng Producer: Manseng et Compagnie (Jean-Baptiste Semmartin / Domaine Lajibe) Region: Jurançon, South West France Wild Scale: 2/5 Vegan friendly wine 13.5% alcohol Winemaking: Organic Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng grapes were sourced from a groeer nearby. Direct press and fermentation with indigenous yeast in steel tanks. No filtration or fining. Small amount of added sulphur on bottling. This Wine: Natural white wine with a medium to full body. This comes from the negotiant arm of Domaine Lajibe where grapes are sourced from organic growers in the Jurançon region but with this particular cuvée, some of Jean-Baptiste's own fruit is included. Notes on the Winemaker: Jean-Baptiste Semmartin produces natural wines close to the Pyrenees in South West France. He trained in Bordeaux and Burgundy before settling in this wilder region which is famous for sweet Jurançon styles. The Lajibe wines are the opposite though. Native grape varieties are employed to create dry, powerful white wines that retain acidity and tension.
