Straddling the Margaux and Haut-Médoc appellations, Clos du Jaugueyron is a mini estate (8 ha in total) in the southern Médoc run like a vegetable garden by Mr. and Mrs. Théron. With attention to the smallest detail, they produce true Margaux, as dense and spicy as they are slender. Quoted as "a safe address" by M. Bettane, and as "one of the most interesting properties in the Médoc at the moment" by the Revue du Vin de France.
The "Nout" cuvée, which is more quickly accessible, has a majority of Merlot (55%), while the Grand Vin gives pride of place to Cabernet Sauvignon (65%).
The Nout cuvée was cited among the "Bordeaux of legend" in the Revue du Vin de France (May 2020).The 2016 vintage of the Grand Vin, "all roundness, smoothness and grace. A Margaux à la bourguignonne", is rated 95/100 by the Revue du Vin de France.

With their Haut-Médoc, Laurence Alias and Pascale Choime, respectively engineer and oenologist, also have a half-hectare in Margaux (Cantenac) pampered like a vegetable garden. It gathers 6 Bordeaux grape varieties (with Petit Verdot, Carménère and Malbec), some of which are more than a century old. Biodynamic cultivation, nothing else in the cellar but the grapes and a little sulfur, aging in 400 liter barrels, everything is done to stay as close as possible to the most delicate and crisp fruit.
Moineaux is the 2018 vintage of the usual cuvée produced in Margaux. Airy and subtly fruity (raspberry juice), it did not receive the approval of the appellation because it is considered atypical: it is consequently labeled as Vin de France.

A small Margaux classified growth (24 ha), Ferrière is a traditional Margaux, frank and pleasant, moderately powerful but perfectly balanced. Its capacity for ageing is undeniable. Certified organicsince 2015, Ferrière was doubly certified biodynamic in 2018, with the Biodyvin and Demeter labels. Awarded Best Winemaker of the Year 2024 by Revue du Vin de France, Claire Villars-Lurtonet has pushed her Margaux cru to the top. Bravo!
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 95/100 “Once again, let's salute the elegance and balance of this very digestible 2021. The wine vibrates with delicious fruit and harmony. It's already irresistible."
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 94/100 “The 2021 Ferrière is a very shy, reticent wine. It has good depth, but all its energy is presently directed inward. Blue fruit, gravel, spice, menthol, licorice and mocha open with a bit of coaxing, wine's flavor profile and overall feel. Yields were just 24 hectoliters-per-hectare.”
J.M Quarin (April 2022): 94/100 “Deep, dark purple color. Intense nose of ripe, fresh fruit. Meticulous on entry, very tasty in the middle, also very pleasant, well-constructed, the wine evolves tasty, towards a long, persistent finish, with a lovely coated tannic relief.”

Château Ferrière now represents one of the best value for money in the Médoc. Whether 2018 or 2019, these are top-flight wines. We praise their elegance and the brilliance of their fruit, the result of work in the vineyard (biodynamic) and in the cellars.”

The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 94/100 “The great 2021 wine is heavily marked by Cabernet Sauvignon (97%). It is therefore logically rather straight and taut, but with plenty of breed and definition, with notes of red fruit, licorice and spices.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 95/100 “The Durfort-Vivens 2021 was magnificent, rich, dynamic and super-expressive. Above all, the 2021 is perfectly balanced. Black fruit, lavender, licorice, leather and clove burst from the glass. Today the 2021 is an infant. It needs time to shed some of its considerable tannin and for the acids to soften, although that might not ever fully happen.”

Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 93/100 “This is one of the best wines from this Pauillac estate in recent years, and could well be an exceptional value.”

The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 “The 2021 confirms its greatness! The wine offers absolutely magnificent refinement and subtlety. Freshly fruited, it unfolds on the palate with great suavity and silkiness. The substance is superb, the fruit is poised and the tannins are lacy. One of the most charming wines of the vintage”.
Vinous (N.Martin - November 2023): 93/100 “The 2021 Pontet Canet, which coontains a little more Petit Verdot than usual, was bottled in july. It has a very attractive bouquet with pure black fruit, cedar and light iris flower scents. It is not powerful, yet there is elegance here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a crisp line of acidity. Just a hint of mocha lurks in the background, but there is a satisfying, almost citric freshness toward the finish.”

Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 95/100 “Quite structured on the finish (more so than previous vintages) with a soft, insistent grip. This wine is unquestionably more classic than the 2019 recently tasted blind and should mature well in bottle. Excellent.”

The palate is medium-bodied with quite a sweet and candied opening and fine acidity, blueberry and cassis hints surfacing toward the floral finish. It has a brightness that is perhaps absent in some of its Pomerol peers.”
