Jaubertie is owned by an English family, who sold the Ryman stationery chain and bought a wine château in Bergerac with the money.
The son (who famously fell out with his father, but I think they've made up again) is a flying winemaker with experience in Australia.
This helped him to make fresh, fruity wines that have a good reputation, especially in the UK, for obvious reasons.
The "Mirabelle" is a new wave sort of wine, a Bergerac on steroids. It's the sort of wine I think is best enjoyed on the young side.
Best regards,
