CLOS DU JAUGUEYRON - Nout 2015
Le Clos du Jaugueyron is located in the Médoc, in Bordeaux. At the age of 20, Michel Théron left Minervois and his parents' vineyard and settled in the Médoc, where he met Stéphanie Destruhaut. Today, they manage 16 plots in the Margaux and Haut-Médoc appellation. Organic and biodynamic farming have gradually imposed themselves on all the plots. The vineyards of the estate are on two main soils: Sur Macau for Haut-Médoc and Sur Arsac for Margaux; diverse geological profiles and different climates.
The grapes are harvested manually, at good maturity with little use of sulfur in the cellar. The tanks of different capacities are used to isolate plots and grape varieties. The vinification is carried out in concrete tanks and the wines are then aged in barrels for around 12 months and then again in tanks before bottling.
Nout 2015 is a blend of Merlot (55%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (45%) whose average age is 29 years. Aging is carried out on fine lees for 12 months, in barrels which 85% is new. "Nout" is the goddess of the sky in Egyptian mythology.
Grape varieties: 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon
