Applying the perfect final touch, Maxime and Lucie guide the Comète through malolactic fermentation—also rare in Jurançonwhich beautifully complements the naturally high acidity of Petit Manseng. As a result, this white is the ultimate embodiment of “tension”—between full-bodied succulence, a chiseled frame, and mouthwatering acidity. It is one of the most exciting white wines you’ll taste all year.
