Macvin du Jura François Rousset Martin

La «cuvée»

François Rousset-Martin presents an iconic cuvée from the Jura region: Macvin. This wine is made from 100% Savagnin grapes. The vines, spread over seven hectares, are located in Nevy-sur-Seille, on a pebbly soil composed of a mixture of clay and limestone. Traces of gray marls from the Bajocian period (Late Jurassic) can also be found in the soil. These lands are perfect for the flourishing of Savagnin, the emblematic grape variety of the Jura. François Rousset-Martin cultivates his vineyard with respect for the environment, although he does not claim any certifications in this regard. He bans all chemical fertilisers and inputs from his vines.
In the winery, Macvin is created by blending Savagnin must with pomace. François Rousset-Martin is careful not to add any sulphites to his cuvées. Finally, the Macvin is aged for five years in barrels.
On tasting, the wine reveals aromas of dried fruits, such as stewed prunes, and spices. On the palate, it delivers an explosion of flavours, offering a well-balanced and superbly round liquid.

Originally from the Jura, François Rousset-Martin took up the family domain in 2007. Trained in oenology and biology, he began by working closely with the local cooperative, to which he entrusted part of his production. Today, he vinifies his 10 hectares himself, much to our great happiness. A Savagnin specialist, François manages to express all his passion through the wine he produces, and this with a non-interventionist approach. His cuvées are single-parcel and coveted in all four corners of the world. Japanese wine enthusiasts are particular fans of Jura wine because of the ‘umami' flavour it is said to have. So you might have to fight to get your hands on one of these precious bottles.
