| Marc de Jura and Marc de Franche Comte The third great eau-de-vie of France |
We are very pleased therefor to be able to offer with the agreement of Jean-Francois Bourdy a very limited
number of superb old marcs from his private family reserve. This is a cache of arguably the rarest great
brandies in existence (total number of bottles originally available shown in brackets):
Marc 1868 : (3 bottles)
Marc 1898 : (1 bottle)
Fine 1921 : (1 bottle)
Marc 1934 : (3 bottles) SOLD OUT.
Marc 1938 : (12 bottles)
Marc 1945 : (3 bottles)
Marc 1947 : (3 bottles)
Marc 1948 : (2 bottles)
Marc 1949 : (2 bottles)

Marc 1952 : (2 bottles)
Marc 1953 : (2 bottles) SOLD OUT.
Marc 1957 : (2 bottles)
Marc 1959 : (2 bottles)
These are in some cases literally unique bottles, not available anywhere else, each one a major rarity. As
far as we have been able to discover not one bottle of marc du Jura from the 1950's or earlier has
appeared on the international auction market for at least the last 30 years.
Please email us for pricing and ordering information on these extraordinary brandies.

The brandies or marcs made from the grapes of Chateau Chalon and the Cotes du Jura have been
famous for centuries, Marc de Jura is usually spoken off as one of the three greatest eaux de vies made
in France, alongside Cognac and Armagnac. Because of the tremendous acidity of the grapes, they have,
in the same way as do the wines of Chateau Chalon, an incredible lifespan, with the ability to age almost
indefinitely. The brandy is crisper and spicier than Cognac or Armagnac, quite unique in taste, with
tremendous focus and finesse.
If you research Marc de Jura in the literature or on the net, you will find lots of references to its superb
quality, and also lots of references to the fact that this brandy needs to age for 40 or 50 years to mature
properly. But what you will not find anywhere, is any actual examples of old Marc de Jura for sale, not
even bottles 10 or 15 years old. The reasons for this are twofold - these brandies are made in tiny
quantities, and mostly drunk in the region, and secondly, the peculiar excise duty in the region makes it
generally uneconomical to offer very old examples for sale.
