Macvin du Jura
Producer: Domaine Villet
Region: Jura
Grape variety: Chardonnay with addition of marc aged 18 months in wood
Color: White, liqueur wine
Quantity: 75cl
A very well balanced Macvin with pure, unfiltered organic Chardonnay. Aroma of dates, dried fruits, candied oranges. On the palate we find dried fruits, dates, raisins. Macvin is obtained with 1/3 old Marc du Jura and 2/3 Chardonnay grape juice taken at the start of their fermentation. The whole, which is 17.5% vol. of alc. Of course, you can enjoy it to accompany a creamy gorgonzola, accompanied by a few walnut kernels, or an apple crisp, but the ideal, from our point of view, is still to enjoy it alone, before or after a good meal. A delight.
The estate of Gérard and Christine Villet is located in Arbois, capital of Jura wines and historically the first controlled designation of origin (AOC) in France. The estate was taken over from the in-laws, whose ancestors have been winegrowers in Arbois since the 1900s. The family Villet, natural winegrowers who developed their ranges with Pierre Overnoy in the 1980s. The estate was converted to organic viticulture in 1988 and was thus one of the pioneers in this sector. This year, 15 ha (including 3 ha for the estate) across the entire Jura vineyard were certified in biology, or 0.75%; whereas today, organic wine represents 15% of the vineyard area. The farm has always retained its character and family dimensions. Gérard works there alone with his wife, who takes care of the administrative and commercial part, and supporting apprentices in training. The harvest remained manual, in order to protect the quality and health of the grapes, and also remained very friendly.
