Le Clos d'un Jour

Le Clos d'un Jour was created by Véronique and Stéphane Azémar in 1999. Eager to work together, in the fresh air, on an exciting product without intermediaries, they took on this resurgent vineyard with a fresh eye.

Le Clos d'un Jour is located on the 3rd terrace of the Lot, renowned for producing rich, ageing wines. The estate's small size enables us to take the greatest care of each plot, 90% of which is planted with Malbec, the appellation's original and emblematic grape variety. As part of this constant quest to respect the terroir, no chemical treatments are used, and work is carried out by hand, with sheep from Ushant doing the mowing. The Clos d'une Jour vineyard has been converted to organic farming for 3 years.

Véronique and Stéphane Azémar work on the specific characteristics of Malbec, and the difficult balance between power-concentration and finesse-roundness. This research has led them to innovate in maturing wine in ceramic jars, which oxygenate the wine without the woody aromas of a barrel. An estate that breathes new life and dynamism into the Cahors appellation.
