2012 Francois Rousset-Martin Macvin du Jura 'Vieux Macvin de Savagnin', France Clos du Tue-Boeuf Aromella and NY81 were foot-stomped

Aromella and NY81 were foot-stomped whole-cluster and gently punched down by hand for 13 days on the skin awaiting the ripening of the riesling that was still on the vine

The two-year oak stage and subsequent bottle rest give the elegance and balance needed for a wine to be tasted for many years

He cooks the juice and must down, reducing it by half. He then fortifies the reduction with a neutral spirit and ages it for 5 years in barrel. The end result is a complex and thought provoking wine, pair it with the region's famous Comt cheese.
