Wines and spirits Château-Chalon

Domaine Macle is one of the pioneers of organic viticulture in the Jura. It is also a well-established estate, dating back to 1850. Laurent Macle took over the domaine in 1995 and has maintained it as one of Château-Chalon's leading addresses, earning him the nickname of "the pope of yellow wine". 4 ha of the estate's 12 hectares are planted with Savagnin grapes, and the remainder with Chardonnay in the Côtes-du-Jura PDO. Vinification takes place in ^16th-century cellars, in oak barrels of course. A very fine house.

This is a beautiful estate that has seen several generations succeed one another since 1859. Valentin took over after Annie and Jean-Claude. He started the reconversion to organic and biodynamic farming. With more than 9 ha, there is no lack of work, including 4 ha in the Chateau-Chalon appellation. The "Sous Roche" vineyard alone is evocative! All the grape varieties are present, including an exclusive Chardonnay hillside in the Château-Chalon AOC. In the cellar you will find wines of character vinified with great care, reflecting the Jura terroir.

The Salvadori family had nothing but courage and the will to succeed when they settled in Château-Chalon. Since 1983, Marie-Ange and Jean-Pierre Salvadori have built up their estate vine by vine. today, 4 ha are cultivated on the slopes of the most highly-rated yellow wine. They produce Château-Chalon, but also Savagnins, typical whites and Macvin. Most of these wines are produced on "blue marls". It is these marls that have given their name to the estate's beautiful gîte.

Michel Geneletti began viticulture in the Etoile appellation in 1976. His son, David, joined him over 20 years ago, but has now decided to take a step up to the most prestigious benchmark, Château-Chalon. The estate covers 15 hectares, producing mainly whites. There are also vines in the Arbois appellation. Try the Crémant du Jura. A low-carbon nose gives way to fresh apple and fine bubbles. A well-balanced wine to enjoy as an aperitif or with a meal.
