Looking for a Médoc that breaks away from the usual paths? Clos du Jaugueyron offers everything you could want! This Bordeaux gem, endorsed by Olivier Poussier, the World's Best Sommelier and member of our Committee, is a true standout.

Michel Théron and Stéphanie Destruhaut lead this unique project in perfect harmony with nature. The 7 hectares, farmed biodynamically, are made up of around fifteen parcels in Haut-Médoc (4 hectares) and Margaux (next to Le Tertre), some nestled in the heart of the woods, where vegetable gardens, beehives, and a winery all coexist.

Their minimalist approach is captivating: gentle extractions, minimal sulfur use, and aging in large containers to preserve as much fruit as possible. The result is wines of superb grace, with a distinct and captivating personality.
