Tourist office Coeur de Béarn - Monein Orthez
Sophie accompanies you on a winegrower’s walk: Welcome to the heart of the Jurançon AOC, an AOC which was created in 1936 for the sweet Jurançon and in 1975 for the dry Jurançon. But the history of this wine is much older… It is said that Henri IV would have been baptized with a clove of garlic and a drop of Jurançon… During the walk, between the vines, wooded paths, view on the hillsides and the Pyrenees, you can discover the secrets of this wine, its making… As well as some legends related to the vine and the Béarn. Once the walk is over, you will go to a domain for a well deserved tasting.
