Domaine Jean Macle wines: buy at the best price
Domaine Macle is an undisputed reference of the Chateau Chalon appellation, and it is Laurent and his sister Chrystelle who have succeeded Jean Macle at the helm of the family estate — an iconic figure of the Jura, often considered "the pope of vin jaune". Domaine Macle was established in 1850 and its vineyard spans 11 hectares of particularly steep hillsides. Chardonnay accounts for 80% of the vineyard and Savagnin for 20% of its surface area, but in vin jaune, only Savagnin exists, as it represents the quintessential Jurassian grape variety, predisposed on its blue marl soils to elicit great gustatory emotions.
