Irouléguy: Fine Wines from the Basque Country
A unique mountain vineyard
Nestled in the heart of the Basque Country, AOP Irouléguy is one of the smallest and most picturesque appellations in France. Its terraced vineyards cling to the slopes of the Pyrenees, planted on schist, sandstone and clay-limestone soils, and benefit from a mild oceanic climate. Viticulture here dates back to the 12th century, when the monks of Roncevaux cultivated these lands. Today, with just a few hundred hectares, Irouléguy produces wines of remarkable character and authenticity.
Style and food pairings
Red wines, crafted from Tannat, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, are powerful, structured and ideal for aging. Whites, made from Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng and Courbu, stand out for their aromatic freshness, floral and fruity notes, and mineral edge. Rosés are intensely fruity and irresistibly enjoyable. These wines pair beautifully with Basque cuisine: cured meats, Pyrenean lamb, ewe’s milk cheeses or grilled fish.
