Franck Libeaur Jurancon Sec Autres Pentes 2023
DOZEN: $583.20 or $48.60 each
Franck Libaude is a rising star in Jurançon, the historic appellation nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees in southwest France. With a deep respect for the land and a philosophy grounded in organic farming and minimal intervention, Libaude is part of a new generation reimagining Jurançon’s potential. His wines capture the vivid tension between mountain freshness and sun-ripened fruit, offering both dry and sweet styles with precision, purity, and personality.
Autres Pentes, meaning “other slopes”, is Franck’s flagship dry Jurançon, made primarily from Petit Manseng, sometimes blended with Gros Manseng. It is a striking, high-altitude white that bursts with notes of citrus peel, green mango, and alpine herbs. The palate is electric—taut and mineral, yet textural and lingering, thanks to lees aging and the natural intensity of the grape. A stunning food wine, Autres Pentes shows just how thrilling and age-worthy dry Jurançon can be in the right hands.
