Clos du Jaugueyron was founded by Michel Théron, originally from Minervois, who settled in Bordeaux after meeting his wife, Stéphanie. Captivated by the Médoc, Michel acquired his first vineyard in Cantenac in 1993, a historic plot later leased to friends at Closeries des Moussis.
With perseverance and minimal financial resources, Michel and Stéphanie expanded their holdings through long-term leases, eventually reaching 7ha across Haut-Médoc and Margaux. Their commitment to biodiversity led them to reclaim 2ha of abandoned land near the Landes forest, planting high-density vines despite the mildew risks. Today, Clos du Jaugueyron consists of 16 parcels scattered between forest, ocean, and estuary. Certified Demeter since 2008, Michel tailors his farming to each microclimate, working closely with nature.
The winery, modest by regional standards, sits beside their home in the Landes. Fermentations occur in cement tanks with 20-50% whole bunches, and extraction is minimal to preserve purity. The wines undergo élevage in old barrels and concrete tanks without racking or topping up, allowing very low sulphur use. Always refining their methods, they embrace innovation, such as their unique ‘pied de cuve’ approach to fermentation. Michel and Stéphanie are pioneers, inspiring a new wave of Bordeaux vignerons. Their work proves that Bordeaux’s terroir can still be expressed with authenticity and soul.
Clos du Jaugueyron’s top cuvée is a careful selection of parcels and barrels, emphasizing cabernet from the estate’s best terroirs. The cabernet thrives in deeper, gravelly soils on higher ground, while merlot comes from sandier soils below. The wine shows a deep cherry hue, delicate extraction, refined cabernet character, and fine-grained tannins leading to a long, elegant finish. Enjoy now or cellar until 2035.
