CLOS JOLIETTE

IN JURANÇON

One of the finest ambassadors for the wines of the Southwest of France, Clos Joliette is an absolute legend, the Mona Lisa of Jurançon!
Its immense aura derives partly from its very unusual terroir, the use of 100% Petit Manseng and its non-interventionist vinification, followed
by long ageing in oak barrels for 4 to 6 years. But there is still a great deal of mystery surrounding this domaine which accounts for the singularity of its wines.
Planted by the Migné family in 1929, this isolated terroir of 1.50 hectares is well known to wine lovers, sommeliers and connoisseurs around
the world despite its limited production. Michel Renaud acquired the domaine and ran it from 1990 until 2015, without changing the original
way of working in any way at all. But the doors of the domaine were kept firmly closed and it remained secret for more than 25 years.
We have the privilege of taking over the management of this vineyard and have acquired the entire production of 19 vintages, which were slowly maturing in bottles in the cellar between 1993 and 2015!
Our mission is to preserve this winegrowing treasure, whilst putting the wines back where they belong: in the finest restaurants and wine stores around the world. This is a great privilege and joy for anyone who knows the history of Joliette.
An extraordinary adventure is beginning!
