Domaine Macle, Chardonnay Ouille, 2023

Laurent Macle's topped-up, non-oxidative Chardonnay from younger vines on grey marl and limestone offers a counterpoint to the domaine's oxidative signature. Fermented and aged in filled (ouillé) barrels to preserve freshness, this wine channels Jura's mineral intensity with stone fruit, lemon oil, crushed shell, and light hazelnut. The Macle family—farming since the 1850s—crafts Jura wines of unmistakable identity and finesse on a taut, chiseled frame.
