Note: RVF 18/20, Bettane & Desseauve 18/20
"A well-born Château-Chalon, already easy to approach young with its full, fat character, less lively than the 2002 but with the same phenomenal length. It can be drunk young but will age admirably". (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011 - Bettane & Desseauve)

About the domain :
An eminent figure in the Jura vineyards, Jean Macle passed away this winter. Tasting a Château-Chalon from the estate that bears his name is more than ever a moment of particular intensity. A true "jaune", straightforward, pointed, harmonious and digestible, whose complexity is not only the result of ageing under a yeast veil. Now in the hands of Laurent Macle, this estate has come through the vintages with such consistency and identity that it commands unanimous respect. Founded in 1850, it boasts some of the steepest terroirs in the area, with gradients of up to 50%. The decision to plant vines on land that at one time no one wanted to venture onto underscores the determination and passion of this winegrowing family, which has become consubstantial with the Château-Chalon vineyard.
