FEATURES
Jean-François Ganevat's Vieux Macvin du Jura is a testament to the revered 14th-generation vigneron's craft, known for producing cult wines of precision, individuality, and extraordinary longevity from his organic and biodynamic estate. Macvin du Jura is a traditional Jura vin de liqueur, crafted from grape must fortified with Jura pomace (Marc du Jura) and aged for several years in old oak barrels—often around a decade for Ganevat's rendition. This unique, small-production style from a niche region makes it a dynamic and conversation-starting bottle.
This non-vintage sweet wine presents an intense golden color with deep aromas of dried fruit, honey, and sweet spices. It is wonderfully rich yet remarkably fresh, offering an amber-gold hue and an intensely expressive nose of fig, raisin, dried apricot, candied citrus, caramelized walnut, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and gentle spice. The palate is generous and velvety, brimming with concentrated dried and preserved fruit, beautifully balanced by fresh acidity and the warmth of the aged Marc. It reveals a lovely savory complexity beneath the sweetness, culminating in a long, warm, and persistent finish. Some tasting notes also highlight oxidative qualities, marzipan, caramel, and forest notes. 【A rare and deeply characterful traditional Jura vin de liqueur, showcasing Ganevat's meticulous biodynamic approach and extended oak aging.】
