Domaine Jean Macle - Côtes du Jura 2007

Côtes du Jura|White wine

3.8/5 (9 customers)

Note: Bettane & Desseauve 16.5/20, RVF 16/20
“A traditional blend of Chardonnay and a touch of Savagnin, this wine is already open on the nose with notes of morel mushrooms and mild curry; it is soft and full-bodied on the palate with a long finish. A great success. ” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011 - 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 particularly intense experience. 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 maintains such consistency and identity across vintages that it commands universal respect. Founded in 1850, it owns some of the steepest terroirs in the appellation, with slopes reaching up to 50 percent. 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.
