The Hours are excelling in combining authenticity and modernity both in the production and in the presentation of their wines of Jurançon. In order to conserve the natural quality of the vineyards, the Hours family uses no fertilisers or weed-killers.
‘Charles Hours is everyone’s image of the ideal Pyrenean winegrower: jolly, fleshy, strong, with a head perfectly fashioned for a beret and a name homonymous with the region’s most celebrated wild animal. Don’t be misled, though; this skilled and consistent winemaker is much more than a postcard stereotype.’ – Andrew Jefford, The New France
