This wine, boasting 180 to 220g of residual sugars, is suitable for enjoying as an apéritif or paired with a variety of desserts, particularly those featuring apple flavors.

It hails from a terroir of heavy clay soils and is crafted from vines aged 20-30 years. The vinification process involves blending 33% home-distilled Jura pomace with 66% Chardonnay juice. The non-fermented Chardonnay must and distilled pomace are aged together in casks for 3 years. Following a static settling of the must for 12 hours, the juice and pomace are combined. The macvin then matures for 24 to 36 months in casks, as per regulatory requirements.

This sweet Chardonnay wine comes from France, specifically the Jura region, and is produced by Domaine de la Tournelle. It has an alcohol content of 17.00% and is described as ready to drink while also promising improvement with aging.

Tasting Notes

This Jura-based Macvin, with its 180 to 220g of residual sugar, offers a luscious and rich mouthfeel, ideal as an apéritif or with apple-based desserts. The nose reveals sweet aromas of ripe apples, honey, and a touch of dried fruit, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, the wine is round and velvety, with the sweetness perfectly balanced by a mild acidity. The Chardonnay brings a gentle floral note, while the Jura pomace adds complexity with earthy, herbal undertones. The finish is smooth and warming, with a lingering apple-infused sweetness that invites another sip.
