About This Wine
The 2013 Vieux Macvin du Jura is a fortified wine made using a traditional Jura method, where the wine is blended with Marc (a pomace brandy) to create a unique, barrel-aged dessert wine. The Macvin undergoes a long maturation process, spending several years in oak casks to develop its complexity and depth of flavor. The grapes used for this wine come from Domaine Ganevat's old vines, which are grown in the unique terroir of the Jura. The result is a wine that balances rich, sweet fruit notes with a natural freshness, showcasing the distinctive character of the Jura region.
