Details
This classic Jurançon blend features Petit Manseng as the key variety as well as a splash of Camaralet and Lauzet. The wine displays beautiful floral notes with honeysuckle dominating the nose, behind this is lovely texture with nectarine and passionfruit tones.
Domaine Nigri is located in the heart of Jurançon, a wine region located in the South-West of France off the main highway between Tarbes and Bayonne. The region has been an AOC since 1936, with a focus on white and dessert wines made from local varieties like Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng and it has forged a reputation for producing stunning wines for those in the know. Chief amongst the wineries forging a path is Domaine Nigri and the man at the helm, Jean- Louis Lacoste. The Lacoste family have been in charge of the estate for four generations, with Jean-Louis taking the helm in 1993. The family restored the original cellar which dates back to 1685 and have put a lot of love and care into the winery which is evident to see in each wine. The flagship wine is the ‘Confluence’ which features two little known varieties, Camaralet and Lauzet, and is found dotted around restaurants all across the South-West. There are two other white wines in the range and three dessert wines, which include the ‘Hors Piste’ which is only made in the best of years.

Pairing guide
This Gros Manseng blend from Domaine Nigri is a brilliant introduction to a truly underrated wine style, and one we just know you’re going to adore. When it comes to food pairing, we especially enjoyed it with a vegetable curry, but it’s going to be equally delicious alongside simple green salads and chicken salad dishes, grilled paneer and halloumi, and pork chops with a herb and lemon crust. Heartier white fish like halibut, hake and cod will also work very well, and it’s not half bad with roast butternut squash and other autumnal vegetables, too.
