Item Description
Clos du Jaugueyron is a unique winery in the Haut-Medoc and Margaux areas. Its vintner, Michel Théron, produces this wine and signs off on each vintage, adapting his work every year according to what nature offers. This 2008 is hard (if not impossible) to find in the U.S. This wine is a Bordeaux blend similar to a Méritage. Details are:
- AOC: Haut-Medoc, Margaux
- Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Petit Verdot
- Viticulture: Biodynamic certified (Demeter)
- Size: 7 Hectares
- Production: Around 2000 cases a year
- Terroir: Gravel, Sand, Clay
Michel Théron’s estate comprises 7 hectares in Arsac, Cantenac, and Margaux. Classic Médoc soil with a lot of small gravels and sand, Michel is a firm believer in organic/biodynamic viticulture, converting officially with the 2008 vintage. The vineyards are plowed, the ecosystem is taken care of, and Michel has never used synthetic products in the vineyards.
The gravels and sandy soil of Macau, with very little clay, tend to bring very mineral, terroir driven fruits, while the terroir of Arsac, with more clay, tends to bring more fruits. The end result is classic, age worthy, traditional Medoc. The Haut Médocs see very little new oak, 25% usually, depending on the vintage. The wines feel very terroir driven, age worthy, but are absolutely drinkable in their youth. The Clos du Jaugueyron is the most important wine Michel makes. Long, complex, probably indestructible, it is a wine that is true to the traditions of Margaux.
