Macvin du Jura is the region's old trick. Grape must is stopped in its tracks with marc, the spirit distilled from pressed skins, so the wine never ferments dry and keeps its sugar intact. Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit make theirs at Domaine de la Renardière in Pupillin, where they have farmed organically since 2010 across seven and a half hectares. It is sweet and warming, with dried apricot, honey and a nutty edge that comes from the spirit, and the marc leaves a faint grip that stops the sugar from settling. A small glass goes a long way.

Pairing Suggestions

Poured in small measures, late, once the table has gone quiet.
Sweetness likes a fried counterpart here: goreng pisang, or a slice of kueh lapis.
In the Jura it follows the meal with roquefort, or a bowl of dried fruit.

About Domaine de la Renardière

The village of Pupillin plays host to Domaine de la Renardière, where Jean-Michel Petit quietly crafts some of Jura’s finest wines. Since establishing the domaine in 1990, Jean-Michel has built his 7.5 hectares into a haven for both red and white varietals, with a lineup of equal parts red (Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau) and white (mostly Chardonnay with a bit of Savagnin). Jean-Michel has been farming organically since 2003, earning full certification in 2012 - an important commitment to the vineyard. In the cellar, he keeps things rooted in tradition: native yeasts kickstart fermentation and sulfur is only used sparingly when needed, and élevage takes place in a mix of foudres for reds and a blend of older barriques and foudres for whites. The result? Wines that are vibrant, soulful, and unmistakably Jura.
