Domaine Jean Macle - Château Chalon - Vin Jaune 2014
The Domaine Jean Macle is located in Château-Chalon, in the Jura. It was created in 1850 by Jean Macle and is now managed by his son, Laurent Macle since 1995. The 12-hectare vineyard is entirely planted with white grape varieties: 8 hectares of Chardonnay and 4 hectares of Savagnin. The vineyard has been certified organic farming since 2015.
The 2014 Vin Jaune is made from Savagnin, grown on the clay-limestone terroir of the Château-Chalon appellation. It is aged in oak barrels, under its veil of yeasts and without topping for at least 6 years. It offers great aging potential and is characteristic, with aromas of spices and intensity of hazelnuts.
Grape variety: 100% Savagnin
