Vin de France Le Clos Bareth Thomas Popy 2020 Magnum (150cl)
Le Clos Bareth 2020 is a red Jura wine classified as Vin de France and produced by Thomas Popy. This cuvée blends Trousseau and Chardonnay from a small south-facing plot located in Mesnay, planted on clay and limestone soils. The destemmed grapes macerated on the skins for three weeks before nine months of aging in vats. This single-plot origin and vinification give this vintage a unique Jurassian identity.

Histoire du domaine
Originally from Beaujolais, Thomas Popy trained with winemakers such as Michel Guignier, Jean-Claude Lapalu, and Julie Balagny, before pursuing his viticultural and oenological training in the Jura in 2014. He also worked alongside Pierre Overnoy and, after settling in the region, with Emmanuel Houillon as well as Céline and Steve Gormally of Domaine Les Dolomies. Established with his family in Mesnay, he has built up an estate of approximately 1.8 hectares, primarily around the lieu-dit Sous la Roche Maldru, complemented by plots located in Arbois, Pupillin, and Montigny-lès-Arsures. His sole proprietorship for vine cultivation has been registered since 2011 and his headquarters have been located in Mesnay since 2017. In July 2024, he also founded and assumed the presidency of Thomas Popy SAS, a company dedicated to wine-merchant activities, the purchase of grapes, musts, and wines, as well as their vinification, aging, and commercialization.
