Macvin du Jura - Domaine de la Tournelle

The Macvin du Jura by Domaine de la Tournelle is the classic fortified wine from the Jura, produced from Chardonnay grapes to which Marc du Jura is added, the area's spirit traditionally aged for around 24 months in barrels. During fermentation this brandy is added to block it and leave a natural sugar residue. The Macvin du Jura by Domaine de la Tournelle is a truly niche product, which is aged for up to 7 years in wooden barrels.
