Robert Parker (98)

I had a beautiful bottle of the 1993 Château Chalon that I thought encapsulated the essence of the Macle style and the Château Chalon vineyards. The wine had a fully developed nose that was hitting on all cylinders right from the start, yet it felt young and lively. The nose was pure curry and green walnuts, with notes of iodine and a diesel-like twist. The palate had pungent flavors and was super precise, like laser cut, detailed and clean, with a great core of acidity. This is a candidate for an eternal wine. It was impossible to guess the wine was over 25 years old and shows how these are true Vin de Garde, as the label read. Funnily enough, when I tasted with Laurent Macle, he told me 1993 wasn't a great vintage... But don't great domaines make great wines in difficult years?
