About Cauhapé.

Domaine Cauhapé is a Jurançon estate in the foothills of the western Pyrenees, run by Henri Ramonteu since 1980. The estate works around 40 hectares planted to Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng — the two indigenous white varieties that define Jurançon's late-harvest sweet and dry wines.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Domaine Cauhapé

South-West France

"Henri Ramonteu took over the family parcels in 1980 and built Domaine Cauhapé into the recognised reference for Jurançon, the south-western French appellation in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The estate covers around 40 hectares planted predominantly to Petit Manseng (the higher-acid, late-ripening variety used for the appellation's headline sweet wines) and Gros Manseng (the dry-wine workhorse, with Gros Manseng Sec gaining in international currency).
