Château-Chalon Jean Macle 1996
The wine
This vin jaune (“yellow wine”) produced by Jean Macle at Château-Chalon presents delicate aromas of fresh walnut, hazelnut, white fleshed fruit (apple) and spice (pepper and turmeric). Rich and opulent in the mouth, with recurring notes of walnut and spice. Endowed with impressive length and a great cellaring potential.
