Tasting Story

The 2023 'La Part Davant' is a masterclass in balance. While the nose is heady and aromatic with tropical fruit and white blossom, the palate finishes bone-dry with a bracing mineral "ping." It is a wine that evolves beautifully in the glass, moving from fleshy peach to a long, salt-flecked finish that reflects the ancient puddingstone soils of the Pyrenees.

Producer Story

Jean-Marc Grussaute has elevated Camin Larredya to the pinnacle of the Juraçon appellation. Following the early passing of his father, Jean-Marc left a life in professional sports to return to the family farm, quickly converting the estate to organic and then biodynamic viticulture.

Serving Tip

Serve at 10–12°C. For the best experience, a brief 20-minute decant can help fully unveil the complex aromatic profile and soften the rich texture before serving.
