c r a z y r o e c t
A story of daring and passion: the birth of the Jurançon winery
In 1949, two visionaries, Frédéric Miramon, an agricultural manager, and Henri Meyer, an oenologist, decided to take up an ambitious challenge: to restore local viticulture to its former glory by bringing together winegrowers driven by the same passion.
At a time when vines were often relegated to the background, their gamble seemed audacious. Yet, driven by their desire to unite, they succeeded in uniting a group of winegrowers determined to transform the future of Jurançon.

But the adventure didn’t stop there. In the 2000s, a new challenge loomed: to revive the Béarn appellation and restore the vines of this historic land to their former glory.
The Cave de Jurançon then took a decisive step by taking over the Coopérative vinicole des Vignerons de Bellocq, giving birth to the Cave de Bellocq.
Today, La Cave de Bellocq has 50 cooperative members and 150 hectares dedicated to Béarn red and rosé wines.
At the Cave coopérative de Jurançon, we’re proud to uphold the values of the collective, working together to sublimate our unique terroir.
