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 open air, on an exciting product and without intermediaries, they brought a fresh perspective to this vineyard undergoing a renaissance.

Le Clos d'un Jour is located on the third terrace of the Lot, renowned for producing rich wines suitable for aging. The small size of the estate allows for the utmost care to be taken with each plot, 90% of which is planted with Malbec, the original and emblematic grape variety of the appellation. In keeping with this constant demand for respect for the terroir, no chemical treatments are used, and the work is carried out manually, entrusting sheep from Ouessant with the task of mowing. The Le Clos d'une Jour vineyard has been converting to organic farming for the past three years

Véronique and Stéphane Azémar are working on the specific characteristics of Malbec and the difficult balance between power and concentration on the one hand, and finesse and roundness on the other. This research has led them to innovate in the aging of wine in ceramic jars, which allow the wine to oxygenate without the wood aromas of a barrel. This estate is bringing a breath of fresh air and dynamism to the Cahors appellation.
