Louzet-Blanc Description
Origin: Pyrenees region, France
History: Lauzet is an ancient white wine grape variety native to the Pyrenees region of southwestern France. Historically, it has been cultivated in the Jurançon and Béarn areas. Over the 20th century, its cultivation declined significantly, bringing it near extinction. Today, Lauzet is grown in extremely limited quantities, primarily in the Jurançon AOC, where it is permitted in both dry and sweet wines.
Appearance: Small, round berries arranged in small clusters.
Growing Traits: Lauzet is a fairly vigorous vine that is generally pruned long. It is somewhat susceptible to grey rot, necessitating careful vineyard management. The grape ripens late in the season, typically about four weeks after Chasselas.
Food Pairing Lauzet's high acidity and subtle fruit flavors make it a versatile companion for various dishes. Dry versions pair well with pork steaks in creamy mustard sauce (porc à la moutarde), while sweet styles complement desserts like pecan pie or pears with blue cheese.
