The night before we started the Camino, we found a beautiful restaurant serving local duck breast. Our waiter recommends a cheeky red, “Mignaberry” from the appellation Irouleguy.
On our train journey from Bayonnes to Saint Jean, we had passed multiple vineyards, nestling in the hills that eventually become the Pyrenees. These vines would have made this wine.
The wine is filled with dry fruits, tobacco and red berries. It was made in 2019 and could do with a little more aging. It is reminiscent of quality Lebanese wines, with that fig notes.
It went perfectly with the duck breast and made quiet a start to the walk.
