After a degree in chemistry, Maxime Salharang chose, somewhat by chance, to go into oenology. He trained in several great Bordeaux châteaux (Smith Haut-Lafitte, Carbonnieux) and was introduced to biodynamics at the Domaine de Souch in Jurançon, before going into his own vineyards at Clos Larrouyat (3 ha) with his wife Lucie. The full eastern exposure and the unique specificity of the subsoil (clay and pebbles rolled on a strip of Trias) give his wines a delicate freshness, intensity, minerality and length rare for the appellation. The work and thoughtful application of the Salharang couple convince us that Clos Larrouyat is a future great of the appellation.

Promoted to 2 stars in the 2024 guide of the Revue du Vin de France.

"Météore" is a blend of 30% gros manseng and 70% petit manseng, aged for 6 months in non-new barrels. Fresh and delicate, lively and intense, with a marked saline touch on the finish. Rated 92/100 in 2020 and 93/100 in 2021 by the 2023 guide of the Revue du Vin de France.

    "Comète"  is a top-of-the-range cuvée: selection of free-run juice, 75% Petit Manseng (for the aromatic palette) and 25% Camaralet (for the structure in the mouth). A wine of irreproachable purity, complex and with a remarkable length, enhanced by the saline touch which is the trademark of the estate. Bravo !

    The sweet "Phoenix", a 100% small manseng, is cloudy because of its low sugar content and its freshness. The aromatic intensity (verbena, pineapple, tangerine, citrus zest) of petit manseng is expressed without heaviness thanks to its tractable vivacity and its measured liquor.
