Jurançon is a French appellation for dry (sec) and sweet (moelleux) white wines. The appellation is located in in the foothills of the Pyrenees, more precisely in the commune of Jurançon. Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng are the principal grapes used in the production of Jurançon wines.
Dry wines from the region are pale yellow with green hues. They tend to display aromas of white and citrus fruit with floral and spicy nuances. These wines are intense and dense, but they remain fresh because of their well-balanced acidity. They pair well with seafood, especially salmon, but they can sometimes be a good match to veal.
