Jurançon sec, the dry white wine of Southwest France, is an astonishing bargain, and this one from highly regarded producer Clos Lapeyre one of the best from this historic appellation.
Made primarily from the Gros Manseng with 10% Courbu the wine has an exquisite balance of richness, tart acidity and minerality.   Notes of lime and flowers touched with a little oak. This is a white that can age beautifully. But if you drink it now, open the bottle a little ahead of time. Jurançon sec is a tremendously versatile food wine. Drink it with scallops in a sauce, calamari a la plancha, Indian curries, a roast chicken. It's also a great wine with cheese.nn
