Macon Milly Clos Du Four Domaine Les Héritiers Du Comte Lafon, 2023

Mâcon-Milly Clos du Four 2023 from Domaine Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon is a refined white Burgundy that captures the purity and precision the Mâconnais is known for. Sourced from a single-vineyard site, it offers a more focused and expressive take on Chardonnay, with the hallmark balance and detail that have made the Lafon name so highly respected in Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a bright, luminous golden-straw color in the glass. On the nose, expect fresh orchard fruit, citrus zest, white flowers, and a subtle mineral edge, with a delicate touch of leesy complexity adding depth. On the palate, it is likely to feel precise and energetic, with flavors of ripe pear, lemon, green apple, and wet stone carried by a crisp, well-defined acidity. The finish is clean and elegant, with enough texture to suggest good short- to medium-term aging potential, especially for those who enjoy Mâconnais Chardonnay with a little bottle development.

Production
Clos du Four is a single-site vineyard in the Mâcon-Milly area of southern Burgundy, where limestone-rich soils and a relatively cool climate help preserve freshness and minerality in Chardonnay. Domaine Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon is known for careful vineyard work and hands-on farming, with harvesting done by hand when possible to ensure fruit quality. Vinification is typically focused on expressing the character of the site rather than overt winemaking, with gentle pressing, fermentation with indigenous or carefully selected yeasts, and restrained oak use to maintain purity and tension in the finished wine.

Food & Serving
This style of white Burgundy is a natural match for roast chicken, poached fish, scallops, sushi, creamy pasta, and goat cheese. Serve it well chilled, around 10-12°C, and consider brief decanting only if the wine seems especially closed on opening; otherwise, it can be enjoyed straight from the bottle.

Producer
Domaine Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon was founded by Dominique Lafon in the early 1990s as an extension of the legendary Comte Lafon legacy, with a focus on producing terroir-driven wines from the Mâconnais. The domaine has earned a strong reputation for elevating the region through meticulous vineyard management and wines that combine Burgundy finesse with outstanding value. It is widely regarded as one of the benchmark producers in southern Burgundy.
