Château Chalon 2009 - Jean Macle - Château-Chalon AOP

A large "Yellow" straight, harmonious with a particular taste revealing an impressive complexity of aromas and flavors... Unrivalled purity and longevity! Rated 0/0 by the Wine Advocate in December 2017.

"Deep-growing freshness and almost scathing intensity of flavours: only the aromatic betrays the generosity of the vintage in scents of mirabelle and incense, of dizzying complexity. Clear, nervous, this immense wine charts its path with the most inflexible extension." 18.5/20 RVF Guide 2018
