Macvin du Jura Blanc

This liqueur wine has been made in the Jura since the 14th century. It is a blend of two thirds grape must with one third marc brandy, which must have aged for at least four years in oak barrels.

Vinification and Ageing

Manual harvest and pneumatic pressing.

After pressing, the juice settles to clarify for 18 hours, before the Jura oak-aged marc brandy is added.

The resulting blend ages in 600-litre barrels for at least three years.

Bouquet

Golden yellow, intense and bright.
A powerful nose with flavours of mirabelle plums, prunes, caramel and raisins.

Palate

Rich and powerful on the palate. A gentle, complex finish.
Aromas of candied fruits and dried fruits.

Ageing Potential

From 10 to 25 years.

Wine and Food Pairing

Accompanies melon very well, also perfect with sweet-and-sour dishes, foie gras, vanilla and rum and raisin ice creams, gingerbread, and desserts of caramelised fruits.

Best served between 5 and 8°C.
