Macvin du Jura

Located in the heart of the Jura vineyards in France, on a hill of grey marl and fossilised limestone, the Château d'Arlay vineyard dominates the history of wine: reputed to be the oldest wine château in France and a former Royal Vineyard of Spain, England and France.

Family owned, never bought or sold since the Middle Ages, the Château d'Arlay vineyard is a historical exception.

Alain, Anne and Pierre-Armand de Laguiche perpetuate here today a unique know-how: that of producing lively, dynamic, seductive wines and spirits with a marked personality.
Wines and spirits in an authentic Jura spirit, respectful every day of the Earth, of Men and Women, of Fauna and Flora.

Accompanied by a talented and experienced team, they work as closely as possible to the land to produce the best wines.

Liqueur wine made from the blending of 1/3 of "Vieux Marc", aged 7 years in oak casks, plus 1/3 of non fermented Chardonnay juice and 1/3 of non fermented Savagnin juice. This blend is then aged 3 more years in barrels.

It shows tastes of fig, pear, plums, cactus flowers, angelica, walnut and sultanas. Best served as an aperitif or with caramelized apple pie, crumble, pudding, chocolate cake, pear with vanilla ice cream topped with hot chocolate. Good also as a light digestive.
