Le Clos d'un Jour

Le Clos d'un Jour was founded by Véronique and Stéphane Azémar in 1999. Eager to work together, in the great outdoors, on an exciting product without any middlemen, they brought a fresh perspective to this vineyard, which was in the midst of a revival.

Le Clos d’un Jour is located on the third terrace of the Lot River, renowned for producing rich wines suitable for aging. The estate’s small size allows for the utmost care to be given to each plot, 90% of which is planted with Malbec, the appellation’s original and iconic grape variety. In keeping with their unwavering commitment to respecting the terroir, no chemical treatments are used, and all work is done by hand, with sheep from Ouessant entrusted with the task of grazing. The vineyards of Le Clos d’une Jour have been in the process of converting to organic farming for the past three years

Véronique and Stéphane Azémar focus on the unique characteristics of Malbec and the delicate balance between power and concentration on one hand, and finesse and roundness on the other. This exploration has led them to innovate by aging the wine in ceramic jars, which allow the wine to breathe without the woody aromas of a barrel. This estate is bringing a breath of fresh air and dynamism to the Cahors appellation.
