Clos du Jaugueyron Haut-Médoc '17
"From 19 year old vines planted to soils in the commune of Macau, directly south of Margaux in the Médoc. The blend for the 2017 is 33% Merlot, 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Petit Verdot. All vines are farmed with organic and biodynamic practices. In the cellar, only native yeasts are used for fermentation. A very dark cherry in the glass. On the nose is a bouquet of white and red flowers, blueberries and blackberries, with a very fresh grassiness and a faint whisper of dried vanilla bean. A crispness of fruit on day one develops into a broader, more solid display of aromas by the next evening. Ever-changing. The palate is bright, with sparks of minerality and lively cherry and plum, beginning just underripe but transforming with air into plump, rounder fruit over 24 hours. It has an invigorating bitterness that extends to the wine’s, earthy, gravely finish. Great acidity and healthy, textured tannin, avoiding the rigid character that so many '17s offer."
