Histoire du domaine
Trained as an engineer in Japan, Kenjiro Kagami moved to France in 2001 to train in viticulture and oenology. He studied at the Beaune wine-growing college and undertook work placements with Comte Georges de Vogüé in Burgundy, Thierry Allemand in Cornas and Bruno Schueller in Alsace. After several years working with Bruno Schueller, he moved to the Jura in 2010 with his wife Mayumi. With the support of Jean-François Ganevat, the couple acquired a vineyard in Grusse – which was then partly neglected – situated on limestone slopes and surrounded by woodland. The plot, covering approximately 3.2 hectares, had been cultivated until the 1950s before being gradually abandoned. Domaine des Miroirs produced its first vintage in 2011. Its name derives from the Japanese surname Kagami, which means ‘mirror’. Kenjiro and Mayumi Kagami run the estate together, with Kenjiro responsible for winemaking.
