Côtes du Jura Chardonnay "Sous Voile" 2018
Côtes du Jura Chardonnay Savagnin 'Tradition' 2018
A family estate in the heart of Château-Chalon
Domaine Macle is located in Château-Chalon, a historic village in the Jura and home of the famed vin jaune. For several generations, the Macle family has quietly and meticulously cultivated their vineyards, aiming to express the true essence of Jura’s terroir. Today, Laurent Macle carries on the family tradition with humility and precision.
A deep connection to the land
The estate’s vineyards lie on clay-limestone slopes around Château-Chalon. Local grape varieties, particularly savagnin and chardonnay, are cultivated with great care and low yields to enhance concentration. Harvesting is always done by hand, respecting the balance of the ecosystem and the rhythm of the vine.
The Macle style: tradition, patience, and purity
The white wines are aged for several years, often under flor yeast, in old oak barrels that are not topped up. This method brings out characteristic notes of walnut, curry, flint, and dried fruit, while preserving vibrant minerality. The estate’s vin jaune is considered a benchmark of the Château-Chalon appellation.
Wines built for aging and gastronomy
Macle wines are renowned for their aging potential, precision, and aromatic depth. They pair beautifully with rich dishes, aged cheeses like comté, or even spiced international cuisine. Each bottle reveals a strong personality shaped by time and the natural pace of the cellar.
A leading name in Jura winemaking
Respected by wine lovers across the world, Domaine Macle has become a cornerstone of Jura excellence. With consistent quality, artisanal commitment, and a loyal adherence to traditional styles, it stands among the finest ambassadors of the region. A rare estate, crafting profound and authentic wines.
