2019 Mâcon-Bussières, Le Monsard, Héritiers du Comte Lafon

2019 Mâcon-Bussières, Le Monsard, Héritiers du Comte Lafon

In the south of the Mâconnaise is this tiny south-facing plot. Yields were severely reduced by the summer heatwave, and what a pity there is such a tiny volume available. Lucky you if you get some: it has a deliciously delicate bitterness on the palate, keeping it serious and savoury, whilst the pretty fruit gives it finesse and style. Dominique calls it his Genevrières of the Mâconnaise.

Tasting notes

The 2019 Mâcon-Bussières Le Monsard has a tightly wound nose of grapefruit and melon notes, perhaps needing a little more intensity. The palate is well balanced with traces of grapefruit, apricot and white peach on the entry, vibrant and more expressive than the nose. Enticing residues of peach linger on the aftertaste.
