Macvin du Jura Rouge - Valentin Morel
Les Pieds sur Terre
A sherry-like nose, with notes of plums, honey, hazelnuts, and brown sugar... A smooth and balanced palate, with lovely volume and notes of candied fruits on the finish. A delightful way to end a meal, to be served chilled.

A red macvin, (a sweet vin de liqueur), made from spirits distilled in 2012 in a traditional still from the marc of all the grape varieties grown at the estate and matured in old barrels for four years, in which Valentin macerated destemmed Trousseau grapes from 2016. It’s not the most common method of producing red Macvin, but it does endow the wine with lovely structure. The blend was matured two years in old barrels, and then aged another two years in the bottle at the estate before release. Neither fined nor filtered, and no added sulphites.
