AboutClos Lapeyre
Clos Lapeyre grew from a Jurançon family farm bought by Jean Larrieu in 1920, when vines shared the property with cattle, strawberries and other crops. In 1985, his grandson Jean-Bernard founded the wine estate, building a small cellar with his father Marcel. Today the family works eighteen hectares, taking care of the wines from planting through bottling.
Its white-grape vineyards climb the Jurançon slopes at roughly 300 to 400 metres, on clay, silt and sand over pebble-rich rock. The vines have been certified organic since 2005 and are farmed biodynamically.

French Dessert
$39.99
Ripe apricot, pineapple and passion fruit lead a generous, late-harvest profile, joined by honey, vanilla and a fine thread of spice. The palate is rich and silky yet remains lively, with lemony acidity cutting cleanly through the sweetness. Candied citrus and tropical fruit linger through a poised finish, making this a natural match for blue cheese or fruit desserts.

Ripe green fruit and citrus lead a concentrated, full-flavoured white, lightly touched with honey. The palate is rich and intense yet remains composed, with the two Manseng varieties bringing both weight and freshness. A powerful, expressive style for roast fish, creamy poultry dishes or firm mountain cheeses.
