CLOS UROULAT

Clos Uroulat is one of the benchmark estates of Jurançon in South West France, internationally recognised for producing some of the region's finest dry and sweet white wines. Founded by the legendary Charles Hours near the village of Monein, the estate played a pivotal role in transforming Jurançon's reputation by demonstrating the extraordinary potential of its indigenous grape varieties. Today, Clos Uroulat continues under the stewardship of the Hours family, producing elegant, terroir-driven wines that rank among the finest expressions of the appellation.

Located in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the estate enjoys a unique microclimate shaped by Atlantic influences and the warm, dry foehn winds descending from the mountains during autumn. These conditions allow grapes to ripen slowly while maintaining exceptional natural acidity, producing wines with remarkable freshness, aromatic intensity, and outstanding ageing potential.

Clos Uroulat specialises in Jurançon Sec and late-harvest Jurançon made from the region's native varieties, primarily Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng. Petit Manseng delivers concentrated aromas of apricot, pineapple, mango, honey, citrus peel, and exotic spice while retaining vibrant acidity, making it ideal for both dry and sweet wines. Gros Manseng contributes freshness, citrus character, floral aromas, and structure, adding elegance and balance to the estate's blends.

The estate's flagship dry wine, Cuvée Marie, is regarded as one of the benchmark wines of Jurançon Sec. It offers layers of citrus, white peach, pineapple, white flowers, wet stone, and subtle honeyed complexity, supported by remarkable mineral tension and a long, precise finish. The sweet wines display exceptional richness balanced by bright acidity, with flavours of candied citrus, dried apricot, quince, honey, saffron, and tropical fruit that allow them to age gracefully for decades.

Clos Uroulat follows a philosophy centred on sustainable viticulture, meticulous hand harvesting, and minimal intervention. Late-harvest grapes are picked over multiple passes through the vineyard to ensure optimum ripeness, while careful winemaking preserves the purity of the fruit and the distinctive expression of Jurançon's unique terroir.

Today, Clos Uroulat is widely regarded as one of the finest producers in Jurançon. Its wines are highly sought after by collectors, sommeliers, and lovers of fine French white wine for their elegance, freshness, complexity, and exceptional longevity.
