Domaine de la Renardiere, Macvin du Jura, France
$49.99
Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit produce this white Macvin from Chardonnay must in Pupillin, fortifying fresh, unfermented juice with one-third Marc du Jura from the estate. The marc is matured in oak before blending, and the finished mistelle rests at least a year in barrel before release, yielding a naturally sweet, vinous liqueur wine at roughly 16–20% alcohol. Aromas suggest quince paste, orange peel, and toasted nuts; the palate is supple and persistent, with a fine lift from the spirit and a long, warming finish. Farming is organic with low-intervention cellar work, consistent with the domaine’s style
