The Macvin du Jura appellation covers all the AOC areas of Jura wines and represents 5% of the total Jura AOC production. Macvin du Jura belongs to the very closed French club of AOC mistelles (or liqueur wines), the only one to be made from grape marc brandy and not from wine.
Known since the 14th century, Macvin du Jura is obtained from unfermented grape juice, the musts, to which a third of Marc is added. It is aged for at least 10 months in oak barrels and must have between 16° and 22° of alcohol to obtain the AOC.
The five Jura grape varieties, Trousseau, Poulsard, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Savagnin, listed in the AOC "Côtes du Jura", are all authorized in the production of musts for Macvin du Jura. Macvin du Jura can therefore be white or red although most winemakers produce it white.
