Jura Entre Deux Bleus Les Saugettes 2014 Domaine des Miroirs

Entre Deux Bleus 2014 – Domaine des Miroirs

Pure Savagnin, Mineral Tension and Poetic Harmony

Entre Deux Bleus 2014 is a crystalline expression of the winemaking philosophy of Kenjiro Kagami, a Japanese vigneron rooted in the Jura, known for crafting poetic, radical, and deeply pure wines. This cuvée, made entirely from Savagnin, grown biodynamically and vinified without compromise, reflects the unique microclimate and terroir of the hills around Grusse.

The Name: A Poetic Vision

“Entre Deux Bleus” – meaning “Between Two Blues” – evokes the image of vineyards nestled between blue skies and bluish mountains. It’s a name that encapsulates Kagami’s contemplative, almost spiritual approach to winemaking.

Vineyard and Philosophy

Winemaking and Ageing

Domaine des Miroirs: The Art of Purity in the Jura

Domaine des Miroirs is one of the most intriguing and mysterious names in the French wine scene. Nestled in the heart of the Jura, in the village of Grusse near Château-Chalon, it was founded by the talented vigneron Kenjiro Kagami. In just a few short years, this tiny domaine has achieved cult status among natural wine lovers and collectors.

Origins and Philosophy

Kenjiro Kagami, a former Japanese engineer and protégé of Thierry Allemand in Cornas, established Domaine des Miroirs in the early 2010s with a singular vision: to create wines of purity, truth, and terroir. The name “des Miroirs” (“of Mirrors”) reflects his desire to produce wines that mirror the land and the vintage with honesty.

Core Principles

• Biodynamic viticulture: All vineyards are farmed biodynamically with no chemicals or herbicides.

• Natural winemaking: Native yeast fermentations, no additions, no sulfites, no interventions.

• Terroir transparency: Wines are neither filtered nor fined, preserving their full identity.

The Jura Terroir

Domaine des Miroirs covers just under 4 hectares, planted on the limestone and marl soils typical of the Jura. The cool, alpine-influenced climate, combined with meticulous vineyard care, results in grapes of great energy, precision, and finesse.

Grape varieties include:

• Savagnin

• Chardonnay

• Poulsard

• Trousseau

The Wines of Domaine des Miroirs

White Wines

Chardonnay and Savagnin

Elegant, vibrant, and deeply mineral. Kagami’s white wines are known for their crystalline purity, tension, and vitality. They often spend several years aging in barrel before bottling and show extraordinary aging potential.

Red Wines

Poulsard and Trousseau

Delicate macerations and extreme finesse. These reds are ethereal, floral, and spiced, with a taut and vibrant palate. Meditative, rare wines with great depth.

Micro-Productions and Rarity

Production is extremely limited — only a few thousand bottles per year. Each cuvée is unique, shaped by the character of the vintage and Kagami’s deeply personal touch. The labels, often hand-drawn, tell poetic and intimate stories.

Final Thoughts

Domaine des Miroirs is not just a winery — it is a vision of nature and art expressed through wine. Kenjiro Kagami’s bottles don’t follow trends or aim to please the masses. Instead, they speak softly and honestly to those who know how to listen. Drinking one of his wines is not merely a tasting, but a soulful experience.
