L'Aristocratte would be a Macvin if the rules allowed it. Macvin du Jura is grape must arrested with marc, the spirit distilled from pressed skins, and the appellation is strict about that. The Rattes use both marc and fine du Jura, the fine being distilled from wine rather than pomace, and that second spirit puts them outside the rules. So it goes out as a vin de liqueur, which describes it just as well and costs it nothing. Sweet without turning cloying, with dried fig, walnut and orange peel, and the spirit carrying a low warmth underneath. Michel-Henri and Françoise Ratte have farmed biodynamically in Arbois since 1989.

Pairing Suggestions

The end of a long dinner, when nobody wants another full glass of anything.
The walnut note finds an echo in pulut hitam, or in a bowl of tau suan.
In the Jura it goes with blue cheese, or simply a handful of walnuts.

About Domaine Ratte

Domaine Ratte is the passion project of Michel-Henri and Françoise Ratte, a powerhouse husband-and-wife duo redefining tradition in Arbois, Jura. Their wines are deeply rooted in respect for their land and their craft. With 9 hectares spread across revered sites like Les Corvées, Grand Curoulet, and la Bergère, the domaine is a mosaic of Jura terroir. The vines, passed down from Françoise’s family, have been farmed organically and biodynamically since 1989, long before it was fashionable. The lineup is a love letter to Jura’s native grapes: Savagnin, Chardonnay, Trousseau, Ploussard, and Pinot Noir. Now joined by their son Quentin, the Ratte family continues to champion low-intervention winemaking, letting the vines do the talking. For Michel-Henri and Françoise, it’s not just about making wine - it’s about creating something timeless.
