Château Lafitte 2022 Argile Jurançon Blanc

Notes from the importer:
Argile 2022 reveals a raw and elemental expression of Petit Manseng, shaped as much by clay and amphora as by the Pyrenean foothills where the grapes ripen. Fermented and matured entirely in terracotta, the wine develops depth and texture without the imprint of oak, allowing the grape’s natural intensity to unfold with remarkable clarity. Aromas of quince, ripe pear and citrus peel mingle with wild herbs and a faint earthy note that reflects its clay origins. On the palate it is vibrant yet structured, where the natural richness of Petit Manseng is carried by bright acidity and a long, mineral finish with a subtle saline edge. Both grounded and energetic, Argile captures the tension between sun and mountain that defines the most compelling dry Jurançon.
