“A blend primarily of Chardonnay and Savagnin, aged for two to three years under a veil of yeast, this wine offers a clean aromatic profile with notes of curry and fresh walnuts, followed by a refined palate and a long, crisp finish with hints of apple... ” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2010 - Bettane & Desseauve)

About the estate:

A leading figure in the Jura wine region, Jean Macle passed away this winter. Tasting a Château-Chalon from the estate that bears his name is, now more than ever, a moment of particular intensity. A true “yellow” wine—straightforward, crisp, harmonious, and easy to drink—whose complexity stems not only from aging under a yeast veil. Now in the hands of Laurent Macle, this estate navigates the vintages with such consistency and such a distinct identity that it commands universal respect. Founded in 1850, it owns some of the steepest terroirs in the appellation, with slopes reaching up to 50%. The decision to plant vines on land where, at one time, no one dared to venture underscores the determination and passion of this winemaking family, which has become an integral part of the Château-Chalon vineyard.
