Profile & Story

François Rousset-Martin farms in the Jura and takes great pride in the region's singular wine traditions, of which Macvin du Jura is among the rarest specialties. This bottling is produced from unfermented Jura grape must (labeled by his importer under both Chardonnay and Savagnin bottlings) blended with marc de Jura, a neutral grape spirit distilled from local pomace, and then aged for five years in barrel.

Tasting Notes

This Macvin shows wild aromatics of dried fruit, spice, and candied citrus zest, carrying real complexity for a fortified vin de liqueur.

Pairing Recommendation

Best served at the end of a meal as a digestif, it has enough sweetness to stand up to certain desserts — a crème brûlée au macvin is a genuinely inspired pairing.
