2017 Côtes du Jura Ouillé, Jean Macle, Jura
Macle produces just a tiny amount of topped-up Chardonnay barrels, and even then, only in certain years. The fruit is drawn from the vineyards surrounding Château-Chalon on limestone-clay soils. The wine is vibrating with energy, with a rich, profound texture. Characteristic salinity marks it out as typically Jurassic, in spite of its non-oxidative style.
