Clos Thou is a very old vineyard in Jurançon: in 1538, a certain Raymonde de Thou owned the property and a few acres of vines. Today, Clos Thou covers 6.8 hectares, and is run by Henri and Raoul Lapouble Laplace, winegrowers for four generations.Domaine Clos Thou , which has been working organically since 23, has been in conversion since 27; it shines thanks to stylish organic wines that show their worth over the years.Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2019 "This estate (Clos Thou) is located on one of the appellation's most expressive terroirs, on the Chapelle de Rousse side. Certified organic since 21, it strives, in addition to the traditional petits and gros manseng, to bring old grape varieties to life: lauzet, camaralet and petit courbu.
