This label is brought to us by the Plaimont supergroup dedicated to improving the fortunes of Southwest French wine. Yura is short for Yuranosû, the antiquated local Bearnese name for what is now called Jurançon. This pleasant range of hills in the southern part of France’s southwest grows some of the most interesting grapes in the country, Gros Manseng and Petite Manseng. More distantly related to each other than the names imply, these are grapes that were clearly meant to be together, because the blend in Jurançon is a magnificent combination of luxuriously creamy texture and live-wire acidity that’s balanced the same way the fusion-powered core of the sun is balanced. Aromas burst out the glass like orange, apricot, peach cobbler, lime zest and honeycomb. The palate is full, and full of tangerine concentrate, kiss melon, and slate minerality that emerges on the mouthwatering and crisp finish. This is a versatile wine at home with mac ‘n cheese, with oysters, and almost anything in between.
