About the Producer
Domaine Nigri has roots in Monein dating back to 1685, situated in the rolling foothills of the western Pyrenees. For four generations, the Lacoste family has stewarded the property, with Jean-Louis Lacoste taking the reins in 1993 to place certified organic viticulture and traditional Pyrenean savoir-faire front and centre.
Rather than chasing heavy, confectionary sweetness, Jean-Louis crafts wines that put terroir and vitality first. The cuvée name 'Pas de Deux' nods to the classic ballet duet—celebrating the seamless partnership between Jurançon’s two native grape varieties: the fresh, energetic Gros Manseng and the concentrated, opulent Petit Manseng.
Vineyard & Winery
Viticulture & Terroir:
The vines are farmed entirely under certified organic practices on steep, south- and south-west-facing hillsides sheltered by the Pyrenees mountains. The soils here consist of poudingues (ancient river pebbles and compressed gravels) mixed with silico-clay, which retain warmth by day and ensure free drainage. The unique Pyrenean foehn wind—a warm, dry southerly breeze from across the mountains—blows through the valleys in the autumn, gently desiccating the grapes on the vine (passerillage) to concentrate natural sugars, flavours, and aromatics without botrytis. Picking is carried out entirely by hand in multiple selective passes.
Winemaking & Maturation:
Each variety is harvested and handled separately according to its strengths. The Gros Manseng undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation and ageing entirely in stainless steel vats to preserve its direct citrus purity and mouthwatering natural acidity. The Petit Manseng is vinified and matured in oak barriques on its fine lees, imparting subtle spice, depth, and a supple, velvety texture. Once blended and settled, the wine is bottled with minimal sulphur additions, preserving vibrant fruit clarity and authentic mountain freshness.
