We passed through Pau on the way to Lourdes (for pilgrimage) and visited a vineyard to try out Jurancon wines. I had booked this visit whilst waiting for departure from Hong Kong via the Internet. We took a taxi to the vineyard and tried the full range of its wines. Now Jurancon was a wine I first tried in the 1980s, well before I knew anything about this region. I tried Jurancon sec 7 years ago when I visited Lourdes then.
The winery presented 2 dry and 2 sweet wines as well as a vendange tardive wine, all of which were quite interesting. I then spotted a methode traditionelle sparkler. As the winery rent out a space for events, this was a product they had made for this purpose. Of course I tried that, but this is for a later tidbit!
