Undoubtedly the most revered signature of the Jura, acclaimed with 3 stars by the RVF Green Guide, Domaine Macle showcases unparalleled consistency, delivering vintage after vintage of wines with splendid precision, now certified Organic. Laurent Macle and his sister Christelle continue their father's work with devotion, cultivating rarity and patience. The 10 hectares devoted entirely to Château-Chalon epitomize the art of precise oxidation management without overdoing it. In recent vintages, "ouillé" wines (without oxidative style) have also emerged, matching the level of excellence. These are mythical and legendary wines, built for eternity, and remain very hard to find.
