Domaine des Miroirs

Domain history

Of Japanese origin and trained as an engineer, Kenjiro Kagami decided to settle in France in 2001. A year later, after working hard to learn French, he embarked on oenology training in Burgundy. At the end of his studies in 2004, he worked for a year at Thierry Allemand in Cornas. Then, from 2005 to 2010, he deepened his winemaking skills with Bruno Schueller.

The desire to produce his own wine becomes more and more present... With the support of the famous Jean-François Ganevat, a true star of the Jura, Kenjiro Kagami buys his own vineyard in Grusse. His vines are located just below a plot owned by Ganevat. He names it Domaine des Miroirs, an obvious choice of name since "Kagami" means "mirror" in Japanese and he wants to shape the estate in his own image! Kenjiro Kagami was the pioneer of Japanese people settling in France to produce lively wines and launched this hype!

Terroirs, Vines, and Vinification

The estate covers 3 hectares on limestone and very steep soils! 1.5 hectares of Chardonnay, 1 hectare of Savagnin, 40 ares of Poulsard, and 20 ares of Trousseau. The volumes produced are therefore very low! The vines are pampered and worked with love: the simplest possible winemaking, without sulfur, without additives, in tank or barrel to produce very expressive natural wines! 4 to 5 years in the cellar do them a world of good.

Domain cuvées

Discover magnificent cuvées like Entre Deux Bleus Les Saugettes, Entre Deux Bleus Innés, Mizuiro Les Saugettes, Mon Rythme Son Rythme, Ja Do, Ja Nai, Sonorité du Vent or I need the sun that magnify the vinified grape varieties. Unfortunately, 80% of the production is directly exported to Japan! It is therefore rare to find these bottles... Rarity and Excellence have therefore driven up the prices of this legendary Jura estate.

The wines of Jura are now in full swing and the names of certain renowned winemakers are turning heads: Pierre Overnoy, Jacques Puffeney, Jean Francois Ganevat, Jean Bourdy, Jean Macle, Pignier, Tissot, Domaine de la Pinte… These essentials are purists, in search of the purest expression of their terroir, in particular by working the vine in ORGANIC / biodynamic cultivation. Jura winegrowers are the most ORGANIC in France, working in a collective spirit.

Taste the Jura wines of the young dynamic generations without further delay: Domaine des Miroirs, Julien Labet, Domaine du Pélican (second estate of the Marquis d'Angerville, eponymous owner in Volnay), Renaud Bruyère and Adeline Houillon ...
