Jura Entre Deux Bleus Les Saugettes 2016 Domaine des Miroirs

Entre Deux Bleus 2016 – Domaine des Miroirs

Crystal purity and mineral tension in a signature Savagnin

Entre Deux Bleus 2016 is an extraordinary white wine, produced in very limited quantities by Kenjiro Kagami, the visionary Japanese winemaker who chose Jura as his land of choice. Made from 100% Savagnin, this wine is vinified naturally, embodying precision, poetry, and balance that define the essence of Domaine des Miroirs.

Meaning of the Name

“Entre Deux Bleus” – Between Two Blues – poetically refers to the positioning of the vineyards, suspended between the sky and the Jura mountains. This almost spiritual vision reflects Kagami’s philosophical approach to viticulture and winemaking.

Vineyard and Production Philosophy

The grapes come from biodynamic vineyards, planted on soils rich in blue and grey marl, characteristic of the Jura region. The approach in the vineyard is meticulously respectful of nature, with no use of chemicals or invasive treatments.

Harvest

Hand-harvested with careful selection of the grapes. Low yields ensure maximum aromatic concentration and integrity of the fruit.

Winemaking and Aging

• Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts

• No fining or filtration

• Aging in old oak barrels for about 2 years

Tasting Notes

Color

Pale golden-yellow with golden reflections.

Nose

Elegant and refined. Citrusy notes (cedar, lime), floral hints, and a touch of wet stone. With air, salty nuances and herbal touches emerge.

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.
