Clos du Jaugueyron has a long history in the Margaux and Haut Médoc appellations dating back to 1898. However, the modern era of the estate began in 1993, when it was bought by Michel Theron. Michel Theron came to Bordeaux because of his family's interest in wine, as they were winegrowers in the Southern Rhône, in the Minervois region of the Languedoc appellation. He took his name from some of their Left Bank vineyards, known as Grand Jaugueyron and Petit Jaugueyron.
The Clos du Jaugueyron produces 2 wines, from 2 different vineyards. In the Haut Médoc appellation, they own a small vineyard of 3.4 hectares for Clos du Jaugueyron which is planted with 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot. They also own 0.4 hectares of vines which are located in the Margaux appellation. The estate is very famous for this Margaux cuvée. Many of their vines are young, due to replanting. However, they also have old vines, which are almost 40 years old. Their oldest vines are over 100 years old! These vines are planted near Château Palmer. The vineyard is planted at a density of 7000 vines per hectare. The terroir consists of gravel and sand soils. The best terroir for the estate is in Margaux, in the Cantenac sector, where the Grand Jaugueyron and Petit Jaugueyron parcels are located.
