2019 Mâcon & Côte Chalonnaise

2019 Mâcon Chardonnay Clos de la Crochette, Héritiers du Comte Lafon Magnum Dry | White | Still | 13%

Chardonnay here refers to the village, rather than the variety. Clos de la Crochette is a charming walled vineyard that Dominique bought in 2003. After a little investigation he discovered it is one of the most historic sites in all of Burgundy, first planted by the monks of Cluny (c.900 AD). This has beautiful tension and energy, it comes as little surprise this spot has been a favourite for winegrowers through the centuries.

Ready: 2021 - 2028

2019 Mâcon-Uchizy Les Maranches, Héritiers du Comte Lafon Dry | White | Still | 13%

This 2 hectare plot lies in the north of the region, and typically has the gentlest acidity of the domaine’s wines. Nevertheless, it is always one of the most balanced, as the mineral freshness comes through the perfectly ripe fleur d’orange scent and peachy fruit. Already very approachable, this will drink well from the off, but will age well too, with its slightly exotic, exuberant character.

Ready: 2021 - 2025
