Domaine Cauhapé is a family-run estate located in the Jurançon appellation in southwest France, at the foothills of the Pyrenees. Under the leadership of Henri Ramonteu since the 1980s, the winery has become one of the leading producers in the region, known for its expressive and distinctive wines.

The vineyards are planted on sloping sites with clay-limestone and siliceous soils, influenced by both Atlantic and mountain climates, allowing for slow ripening and the preservation of freshness. The estate focuses primarily on indigenous varieties such as Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng, which produce wines with intense aromatic profiles ranging from citrus and tropical fruit to honey, spice and floral notes.

Domaine Cauhapé produces both dry and sweet wines, with the latter often made from late-harvest grapes that achieve natural concentration on the vine. The wines are defined by a balance between richness and acidity, resulting in vibrant, aromatic and structured styles with long finishes.

Ramonteu is also known for his innovative approach, experimenting with grape varieties and winemaking techniques while maintaining a strong connection to terroir. Today, the estate is considered a benchmark for Jurançon, combining tradition, precision and a clear sense of identity.
