Supermarkets (and supermarket shoppers) are caching on to the delights of Jurançon Sec as a versatile, food-friendly white. This example, made by Chassaux et Fils, is a classic blend of the peachy Gros Manseng (60%) and more grapey and floral Petit Manseng, the nutty richness kept in check by fresh apple acidity.
