It is owned by the Moueix family, who also own the famous winery Pétrus. The vines are on average 25 years old. The wine has matured for 12 months in barrique, a new oak barrel. One year of barrel aging is enough to make the wine softer and rounder, and also short enough to preserve the fresh fruitiness. Château Juguet is a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. The wine region has various classifications from Premier Grand Cru to the ‘ordinary’ protected designation of origin, PDO, which was formerly the AOC. Grand Cru is a quality level above this PDO.
