CLOS DU JAUGUEYRON CLOS DU JAUGEYRON 2016

Style: Bold & Powerful

Michel and Stephanie are firm believers in organic/biodynamic viticulture, converting officially with the 2008 vintage and gaining Demeter certification. Natural farming and sustainability is a way of life for them in their day to day, carrying through from the vineyards to the winery and beyond. The vineyards planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are plowed, and do not see a synthetic product. Instead careful attention is paid to the vineyard ecosystem, striving for balance naturally and letting the clay/gravel/quartz terroir of Arsac, and the deep fine gravels and sandy soil of Macau impart their goodness on the vines. 

This is their best cuvee from a surface of 3.75 hectares, with 8,000 vines per hectare, and with most of the vines are 27 years old and some 7 years old. Yields are low with an average of 30hl / ha. The grapes are hand harvested in small crates including sorting in the vineyard. Fermentation in concrete tanks. Aging in a reductive environment for 12 months in barrels with 50% of new oak barrels. Barrel makers are Taransaud, Ermitage, Berthomieu and Stockinger. Only 6,000 bottles are produced each year. Light filtration if needed, low sulfur. MOSAIQUE WINES
