Château de Cuqueron

At the foot of the hillsides of Cuqueron, a village adjoining Monein and in the heart of the Jurançon AOC region, the Château de Cuqueron is a building of great character which was restored in the 17th century. Nestled on the South side of the hill and well rooted in the draining ‘puddingstone’ Pyrénéen pebbles, the château’s vines benefit from exceptional soil, which is ideal to create a sublime Petit Manseng, the only grape variety produced here for Jurançon. Since 1324, the castle has been an important part of local history, mixing tradition and modernity. The estate also produces Roussanne peaches in season.
