2020 | Domaine Castera | Jurancon Sec Tauzy

Producer Information

Domaine Castera dates from 1749. The Lihour family purchased it in 1895. It is constructed in the local Bearnaise style from fieldstones and slate with the buildings grouped around a central courtyard. The ten hectares of vineyards are on the surrounding hillsides with the steepest parts being terraced. The vineyard is planted with 60% Petit Manseng and 40% Gros Manseng. These grape varieties have adapted well to the difficult weather conditions in the Pyrenees. They are trained fairly high off the ground to avoid damage from spring frosts and the thick skin of the Petit Manseng enables it to continue ripening well into the fall. M. Lihour does not use chemical fertilizers or herbicides and all harvesting is done manually.
