Histoire du domaine
The family-run Macle estate was founded in Château-Chalon in 1850. In the 1960s, Jean Macle took over a mixed-farming holding comprising around 1.5 hectares of vines. Together with his wife Élyane, he gradually expanded the vineyard and shifted the focus of the business towards winegrowing. The estate then grew to 12 hectares, divided between Savagnin in the Château-Chalon appellation and Chardonnay in the Côtes-du-Jura. Laurent Macle began working with his father in 1990 and took over the running of the estate in 2003. He subsequently reduced the area under cultivation to around 10 hectares, partly as part of the process of replanting the vines and transitioning to organic farming. The conversion to organic farming began in 2015 and the first certified organic bottles were released in 2019. Jean Macle, a leading figure in the wine-growing community of Château-Chalon, passed away in 2021. In January 2025, Carmen Macle joined her father at the estate; Laurent Macle remains in charge of winemaking.
