A unique place, deeply rooted in its local area and full of life. At the foot of the Pyrenees, Cinquau has been producing Jurançon wines for over 400 years. It is also a place of hospitality, where wine, nature and a warm welcome come together to create precious moments.
The french wine you didn’t expect
A new taste of France
Far from the major traditional appellations, Jurançon remains one of the best-kept secrets of the French wine-growing world. These are wines full of character – fresh and aromatic – which surprise those curious enough to discover them.
● An unexpected appellation. Jurançon offers an alternative to classic French wines, with a genuine story to tell your customers.
● Distinctive grape varieties. Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng are grown almost nowhere else. They produce wines that are both rich and lively, with notes of citrus, exotic fruits and spices.
● An unspoilt area in the South-West. An authentic region, nestled between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic Ocean, still untouched by mass tourism.
● A range with varied expressions. Dry and sweet whites, complemented by reds and sparkling wines.
Unexpected wines
Welcome to Cinquau, between the Atlantic and the Pyrenees
A different side of french wine
For over 400 years, Cinquau has cultivated the art of winemaking in the heart of the Jurançon vineyards, in an exceptional setting at the foot of the Pyrenees.
The region’s distinctive grape varieties and contrasting climatic infl uences give rise to wines of remarkable diversity and character.
Over the years, Cinquau has evolved. Rooted in its vineyards and winemaking heritage, the estate has become a destination in its own right — a place to stay, celebrate, come together and share moments over a glass of wine.
Here, centuries of winemaking tradition meet a warm and welcoming spirit, creating a place where heritage comes alive through shared experiences.
