Macon, Les Heritiers des Comtes Lafon '06

Grapes: Chardonnay
By the Bottle: £10.00, By the Dozen: £114 (£9.50 each)

Mini Meursault from Giants in the field.

After years of exploring the world marketplace Dominic Lafon returned from the polo fields to head the current generation of the Comtes Lafon. More than simply maintaining their reputation for producing some of the finest wines in Burgundy, Dominic was keen to expand operations. After no mean search a vineyard in the Macon that shared the Lafon family commitment to quality was found. This was bought and the family has now firmly expanded their footprint from the home vineyards in Meursault.
The vineyard may be different but the style and commitment to quality remain. Effortlessly stunning wine. Clean, focused racy stuff with a wonderful balance and easy seated complexity – you can see the influence of a top Meursault producer but at Macon prices.

Back to the list
