FEATURES
🏰Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot's Macvin is a 【unique and highly regarded fortified wine from the Jura, showcasing the region's distinctive winemaking traditions】. Macvin du Jura is a Vin de Liqueur, made by blending unfermented grape must with aged Marc du Jura (grape brandy), then aged in oak barrels. Tissot is a leading biodynamic producer in the Jura, known for their meticulous approach and expressive wines. Expect a Macvin with a beautiful amber/golden hue, offering complex aromas of dried fruits (apricot, fig), nuts (walnut, almond), honey, caramel, and subtle oxidative notes. The palate is rich and sweet, yet balanced by a refreshing acidity, with a long, lingering finish that reveals layers of dried fruit, spice, and a hint of rancio.
🍴 This versatile fortified wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif or a digestif. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of desserts, especially fruit tarts, nut-based cakes, or crème brûlée. It's also an excellent match for strong cheeses like Comté, blue cheese, or foie gras. For an Asian pairing, consider it with almond tofu dessert, mooncakes, or even a rich, sweet glutinous rice dish.
🥂 Perfect for a special after-dinner treat, a unique gift for a wine adventurer, or as a delightful accompaniment to a cheese course. It's a wine that offers a distinctive and memorable tasting experience, ideal for moments of relaxed indulgence.
