Energetic, approachable and very enjoyable, more on the digest, less extracted and less oaky side; compare to most wines in this subregion of the Medoc.

About the wine: Over delivering Margaux, those Margaux we want to drink and open a second bottle at the table. 'Nout' is the goddess of the sky in Egyptian mythology, they choose this name for this cuvee to connect with the biodynamic farming they practice at Clos du Jaugueyron.

Aging in a reductive environment for 12 months in barrels and foudre of 12 hl, then 10 months in concrete tanks before bottling. Light filtration if needed, low sulfur.
