Orange Blanc 2020,

Château Lafitte


This Orange cuvée, with its spectacular old gold color and supple, enchanting tannins, is made from 100% Petit Manseng, the emblematic Jurançon grape variety. It is harvested by hand during the second half of September. Both the viticulture and the vinification process are carried out without the addition of chemical additives or sulfites. Orange is macerated for three weeks in terracotta jars, which gives it its beautiful tawny color, powerful nose, and supple, melting tannins. A true treasure to cellar for up to ten years (if you can manage that). The possibilities for almost infinite flavor pairings are endless (everything goes with it, including the most unlikely ingredients). A dense and powerful orange, of astonishing complexity, which at the same time does not forget to be fine and caressing.

To find out more
Château Lafitte is located in Béarn, on the noble terroir of Jurançon, the origin of superb sweet wines and dry wines that have nothing to envy them. Since the 14th century, Monein, the commune where the estate is located, has been nestled in an exceptional natural, rich and hilly environment. In the 16th century, vines already occupied a significant part of the property, and they have persisted to the present day. Philippe and Brigitte Arraou, the current owners, have undertaken to revive viticulture on the site, helped since 2012 by their son Antoine, a winemaker as passionate as his parents. Château Lafitte is now managed biodynamically and with agroforestry: five hectares of marl-limestone soils typical of the appellation, on a hilly terrain that can become very cold in winter. The king grape varieties of Jurançon, Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng, represent the majority of the grape varieties. Also typical of Jurançon and the Pyrénées-Atlantiques in general, viticulture en hautains, that is to say raised and trained very high, is practiced. As it was in many primitive vineyards, some of which are still active (Portugal, Spain, Georgia, etc.). On this beautiful estate, winemaking experiments are legion: aging in terracotta jars for dry wines, solera for sweet wines in untopped barrels, photovoltaic roofs for the cellar, rainwater harvesting, gravity-fed vinification. Château Lafitte produces sweet Jurançons as well as still dry wines and a very successful natural sparkling wine, Funambule.
