4.1
Smells like a mix of Berta grappa and wine - and yo, what a result. Chocolate, kiwi, raisins, almond, curry, ginger, coffee, cinnamon, cardamom, honey. Wild, unexpected, and somehow it all works. The balance is solid, the finish long and satisfying. Sure, I'd love the alcohol to be a bit more integrated, but even as it stands, this is seriously impressive.
About
A traditional Jura fortified wine made by blending one-third aged Marc (grape brandy) from 2012 with two-thirds fresh Chardonnay grape juice from 2014, harvested from vines over 65 years old. The blend was matured for 60 months in 300-litre oak barrels before bottling on 2 September 2019.
Note: Macvin du Jura is a regional speciality - an AOC-designated fortified wine (vin de liqueur), produced by combining unfermented grape juice with Marc du Jura, creating a richly textured, aromatic, and naturally sweet wine.
