Château d'Arlay - Macvin rouge

Name: Château d’Arlay – Macvin rouge
Brand: This is the estate’s largest regional sale, a true local institution. A specialty of the Estate, obtained by maceration and not by bleeding, of the 5 red and white grape varieties of the Jura (Pinot Noir, Trousseau, Poulsard, Chardonnay, Savagnin), followed by aging for 2 years in barrels. This blend is intended to reflect the wines of yesteryear, made from grapes mixed in the vineyard. To our knowledge, it is the only one still practiced in the Jura.

Fruity

Bright ruby color, nose of wild red fruits in brandy (morello cherry, prune, etc.) and black tea, vinous and non-alcoholic on the palate, with a frank, sweet but not syrupy attack.
On the palate: red fruits (morello cherry, wild raspberry, prune), marzipan, bergamot, quince, etc.
On the finish, there are natural tannins, marked by aromas of quince paste.
This Macvin red is best served as an aperitif, of course, at room temperature and not too chilled, but it will also pair well with duck foie gras in jelly, red fruit desserts (iced soufflé with red fruit coulis), chocolate Yule log, Black Forest cake with morello cherries, pudding, etc. Finally, it pairs perfectly with a light cigar.
