Description

Michel Gahier Macvin du Jura NVProduced in truly miniscule quantities, Gahiers Macvin du Jura channels the same no brakes, dazzlingly energetic spirit that imbues his wines. Following the traditional blend of two thirds unfermented grape must and one third marc, it captures the gleaming health of Michels impeccably farmed fruit in a concoction that is mouthwatering in its combination of acidity, salinity, and luscious freshness. While the blend may change depending on the harvest,

The grape composition is predominantly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc in the blend that provides additional structure to the wine

with hauntingly precise red fruits anchored by a robust stoniness

This is a one-hectare vineyard planted to Nebbiolo in 1955

then the wine is racked into smaller barrels (5 hectoliters) of French oak origin for an additional 12 to 18 months

with yields rarely topping a meager 30-hl/ha

fermented in a combination of stainless steel and ceramic

striking a wonderful balance between vinosity and brisk drinkability

with a freshness that reminds us of the area’s proximity to the mountains
