The second wine of Domaine Cauhapé, this is made from grapes that will be unfamiliar to some wine lovers: Gros and Petit Manseng, Camaralet, Lauzet and Courbu. It's quite a rich, full-bodied, unoaked style, with a marked fragrance of grapefruit, and a lingering zestiness on the finish. Almost exotic in character, this would happily withstand quite robust flavours, even some spice. Try it with strong hard cheese, or fresh river fish.
