This is a wine that is made from unfermented grape juice (from Chardonnay grapes) and wine must which has been boiled to reduce the volume by 50%. The wine is then fortified with a marc which has been made on the premises to gain an alcohol level between 16% to 22% which is required for acceptance by the appellation. The resulting wine must then be aged in old oak barrels for at least a year before being released. The wine can be red, white or rosé depending on the grapes used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMichel Gahier lives in the centre of the village of Montigny-les-Arsures which lies near the central town of Arbois. The reason this is significant is that Montigny is regarded as the finest terroir for the Trousseau grape in the Jura. When we first tasted his wines we were very excited by their purity and their minerality. Michel is a quiet but talented vigneron who tends his vines meticulously and watches carefully over his wines as they are maturing. He likes to make his wine using the traditional techniques of the Jura. Michel tends 6 hectares of vines of which 3 hectares are given over to Trousseau and the remainder is split between Chardonnay and Savagnin.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michel Gahier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42336579453090,"sku":"11886","price":86.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/6533\/4178\/products\/BEER-CAN-330ml-BOXY--13_bc0ed49d-770c-4514-8bc8-be8fec57a55d.png?v=1657180220","url":"https:\/\/spon.bar\/products\/nv-michel-gahier-arbois-macvin-du-jura","provider":"Spön Bottle Shop and Wine Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
