Château de Rousse
Château de Rousse produces wines from Jurançon, a distinctive appellation in the Pyrenées foothills of South West France. The winery focuses on the region's signature white varieties: Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng, and Courbu Blanc. Its Cuvée Prestige Jurançon, built from Petit Manseng, represents the winery's top expression—a grape known for its ability to concentrate sweetness and acidity in the mountain climate. The Cuvée Sélection blends all three regional varieties, while the Cuvée Embrun Jurançon Sec showcases the mineral, dry side of Gros Manseng. Jurançon's steep, south-facing slopes and Atlantic-influenced weather create conditions for wines of both richness and tension. Wine Enthusiast has rated the winery's portfolio.
