Heritiers du Comte Lafon Macon-Milly Clos du Four 2023

Country: France

Region: Burgundy

Type: White Wine

Grape: Chardonnay

This is the prized vineyard in the village of Milly located in a steep ampitheater directly behind Lafon’s winery, producing intense, crisp minerally Mâcons. Organic/biodynamic farming. Much of the fruit here goes into the village Milly bottling with just the old vines in the heart of the vineyard, having best exposure, going into this cuvée. Very mineral with great length, this wine’s richness comes out only after at least a year in bottle. The fruit is classic Mâcon styled with tinges of citrus.

Some tightness and tension here. An intense concentrated core, peaches and crisp citrus fruit. Structured, with crushed stone minerality followed by ripe tangerine, honey and fresh apricot touches. Ripe and sunny but precise and focused.
