Domaine Jean Macle is a family-run wine estate in the Jura that has spread over 12 hectares in Château-Chalon since the mid-19th century. Jean Macle took over his father's vineyards in 1966 and immediately embarked on a conversion to organic farming.
A third of the vineyard, i.e. 4 hectares, is in the Château-Chalon appellation, with several plots in Sous Roche, Puits St-Pierre and Les Dames. The vines are planted on very steep soils, with almost 50% slope in places. On this difficult terroir, the Macle family has shown great perseverance and a certain talent to produce wines of world-renowned quality.
The wines are aged in oak barrels, under a veil of yeasts, after having undergone their alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in vats.
Today, Jean's son, Laurent Macle, the sixth generation of the family, is at the head of the estate after having worked with his father since 1995.
