The Bordeaux Supérieur Merlot Cuvée Jarre represents an exemplary choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate a balanced structure combined with distinctive aromatic richness. This wine is produced following the strict standards of the Bordeaux Supérieur denomination, thus ensuring superior quality derived exclusively from carefully selected Merlot grapes.

On the nose, the Cuvée Jarre offers intense aromas of ripe fruits like plums and blackberries, enriched with subtle notes of vanilla and chocolate, courtesy of barrel aging. On the palate, silky tannins contribute to a velvety texture, while freshness is maintained by a well-balanced acidity that leads to a long and pleasantly persistent finish.

Ideal to be served at a temperature of 16-18°C, it pairs wonderfully with roasted red meat, rich stews, or aged cheeses. The Cuvée Jarre is also an excellent candidate for aging, capable of evolving and maturing in the bottle for many years, thereby developing even greater complexity.

Winery history
The agricultural and winemaking project is managed by the Aubrion family, led by Virginie with her son Corentin. The family converted an old farm into vineyards and began production in its current form in the late 1990s. Over the years the estate has distinguished itself for natural practices and for promoting alternative vinification methods.
Production philosophy
Low-intervention approach: organic and biodynamic farming, use of natural remedies and the lunar calendar, hand-harvesting, fermentations with indigenous yeasts and aging in barrels, foudres, amphorae and jars. Animals are present on the estate as an integral part of the agricultural ecosystem.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Val-de-Virvée, in the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards, the estate works on clay-loam soils with traces of crasse de fer and produces wines in the Bordeaux / Bordeaux Supérieur appellations.
