MACVIN DU JURA > MICHEL TISSOT

Grape Varieties

Macvin du Jura is a Jura tradition, made exclusively from grape must and Franche-Comté marc brandy. It is made from the juice of the Jura's white grape varieties: Chardonnay and Savagnin.

Tasting notes

Straw-yellow in colour. Both fine and complex, with aromas of candied fruit, dried fruit, citrus fruit, quince jam, vanilla, apple, caramel, with hints of herbs giving it its originality. A very harmonious whole. Well-balanced and fruity on the palate, with a lovely sweetness to support the long-lasting aromas.

Food and wine paring

This wine is sublime as an aperitif with melon, prunes dressed in smoked bacon or foie gras. It is also a perfect companion for fruit tarts or chocolate desserts.

Serving suggestions

Serve chilled between 8 and 10°C (aperitif or melon), between 14 and 16°C (foie gras or desserts) and at room temperature as a digestive.

Ageing potential

Ready to drink. May be kept for up to twenty years.

Appellation

Small in size, but large in its exceptional diversity, the Jura vineyards stretch over 80 kilometres between Burgundy and Switzerland, on the eastern border of France.

Winemaking

Our white Macvin du Jura is made from white musts (Chardonnay and Savagnin), blended with eau de vie of the same origin (aged in oak barrels for at least 18 months), with 2/3 unfermented grape juice and 1/3 Jura marc. It is aged for 12 months in oak barrels.
