Description
The 2018 Clos du Jaugueyron, Nout, from Margaux is a stunning expression of the Margaux terroir, showcasing purity and concentration. The hot 2018 summer allowed the grapes to fully ripen, yielding a wine of dense, concentrated flavors. Made from 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from 29-year-old vines in the biodynamic ‘Le Tertre’ vineyard, this wine is fermented with ambient yeasts and aged for a year in a mix of new and 1-year-old oak barrels. Expect aromas and flavors of black forest gâteau, black cherry, dark chocolate, mulberry, earthiness, red florals, and wet stone. The plush tannins and full body are complemented by medium+ acidity and a long, satisfying finish.
