Migné planted his Clos exclusively to ungrafted vines of Petit Manseng, which made little sense during this period when wines were not yet estate-bottled. By the 1980s it had achieved cult status — with wine legends like Jean-Claude Berrouet of Château Petrus describing it as “the quintessence of an exceptional terroir,” and Bertrand de Lur Saluces saying it was the one estate whose wine could rival his own Château d’Yquem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eDespite Jurançon being the rainiest wine region in France, the warm air from the Pyrenees makes for one of the longest growing seasons, and \u003cem\u003emoelleux \u003c\/em\u003ewines free from botrytis and consequently greater acidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFamous for sweet \u003cem\u003emoelleux \u003c\/em\u003ewines since the Middle Ages, the French poet Colette called Jurançon \u003cem\u003eséduction du vert galant \u003c\/em\u003eand wrote, “I was a girl when I met this prince; aroused, imperious, treacherous, as all great seducers are,” causing local producers to advertise with slogans such as, “\u003cem\u003eManseng means Jurançon means Sex\u003c\/em\u003e.”\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block website-component-block sqs-block-website-component sqs-block-html html-block\" data-block-css='[\"https:\/\/definitions.sqspcdn.com\/website-component-definition\/static-assets\/website.components.html\/b683d801-c0b9-4d36-b93e-430b1d4e90cc_427\/website.components.html.styles.css\"]' data-block-scripts='[\"https:\/\/definitions.sqspcdn.com\/website-component-definition\/static-assets\/website.components.html\/b683d801-c0b9-4d36-b93e-430b1d4e90cc_427\/website.components.html.visitor.js\"]' data-block-type=\"1337\" data-definition-name=\"website.components.html\" data-sqsp-block=\"text\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1734625709644_3434\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-text-block-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\" data-sqsp-text-block-content=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eWhile Jurançon’s \u003cem\u003evins doux \u003c\/em\u003ewere granted early AOC status in 1936, the Jurançon Sec appellation was only created in 1975 after the Migné family could not produce sweet wine at Clos Joliette in the 1974 vintage. Despite the notoriety of Joliette, after Monsieur Migné’s passing at the end of the 1980s his widow Jeanne failed to turn a profit. Eventually, she sold the estate to a Parisian wine merchant named Michel Renaud, who for the next 25 years kept producing Jurançon with the same artisanal care of the Migné family, but other than selling a few bottles a year to top French restaurants, never publicly released a single vintage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAfter Renaud died in 2015, his family hired Jean-Marc Grussaute of Camin Larreyda to manage the fabled 1.8-hectare \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vinous.com\/articles\/resurrecting-the-mystery-clos-joliette-jan-2020\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClos Joliette\u003c\/a\u003e and vinify the 2016 and 2017 vintages.
