DiscoverVin is closing down (sadly) and there's still a few clearance cases to be bought.
I am from Pau in the French pyrenees, and Jurancon is (IMHO) the most underrated dessert wine ever.

Jurançon is a wine region in South West France in the foothills of the Pyrenees, around the commune of Jurançon. It produces a dry white wine and a more sought after sweet white wine. The grape varieties used are Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng and Courbu. The sweet wines develop aromas of tropical fruit such as pineapple and mango. The vines are grown on steep mountain slopes and for the sweet wines the grapes are often hand selected well into October and November to ensure the best noble rot characteristics - although Tim Wildman MW states that noble rot is not the origin of sweetness in these wines.

I prefer the dry whites they do, but there's none left.

At this price it's a steal, you'll thank me later.
All cases are heavily reduced to clear.

This is a great opportunity to purchase by the carton and save! But only while stocks last.

Excludes: Regional SA, Regional WA, NT

  Half these bottles coat about $10-14aud in Europe, yes prices are very inflated here.

    I see it as supply/demand + shipping costs.
    These bottles are nowhere to be found in Oz (and I've looked)
    I agree I wouldn't pay $600 for a case.
    But $120? That's a bargain

  What the heck are these RRP? Even for full-sized bottles (which these aren't) it is overpriced.

    Nuclearvodka on 30/10/2022 - 16:48

    They are full sized bottles.
    Only one case is half sized

      Fair point, misread. $120 is actually reasonable, haha.

  Hmmmm none of the product descriptions mention botrytis, only that they are late harvest. OP, do you know these wines personally or just the region?

    Nuclearvodka on 30/10/2022 - 17:50

    I know the wines.
    Definitely not a Sauternes (botrytis) but quite sweet nonetheless. A great, different dessert wine.
    The grand and petit manseng are not common grapes and this is a wine profile I have never found anywhere else.
    I prefer the dry wines from the region, because I don't really have a sweet tooth. But my wife loooooves the sweet jurancons.
    Goes great with cake (russe from artigaredes)

      Thanks I'll give them a try. I'd suggest removing references to noble rot as I think it just confuses people on the actual style of these wines.
