Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon Macon Villages Chardonnay (6 Bottles) Burgundy, France

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

John Gilman

“The 2019 Mâcon-Villages from Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon is a nicely ripe and expressive wine that shows plenty of aromatic personality as it wafts from the glass in a pretty mix of nectarine, clementine, pretty nuttiness, a sound base of soil and a topnote of musky floral tones. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and succulent at the core, with just a wisp of CO2, sound acids and good length and grip on the wide open and inviting finish. This is a very nicely done, and though there is a touch of pinching on the backend from the closure, I am sure that this wine will have all been drunk up long before any reduction comes into play. 2020-2025.” (9/2020)

K&L Notes

“William Kelley writes for Wine Advocate: “The Lafon family established this important domaine in the village of Milly-Lamartine in 1999, and it now amounts to over 25 hectares, all farmed biodynamically. Vinification is mostly in foudres and demi-muids, though the domaine’s Pouilly-Fuissé ferments in used 225-liter barrels, with élevage typically completed with a few months on the lees in stainless steel. Caroline Gon runs the estate, overseen by Dominique Lafon.”
