Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon Pouilly-Fuisse 2019

Excellent complex and pronounced nose. Fruity notes of citrus and peach, mineral hint, pronounced buttery side. Well balanced, a real pleasure.

Dominique Lafon was the first Côte d'Or superstar to expand his holdings into the Mâconnais followed by Domaine Leflaive. They have breathed new life and prestige into this cooperative dominated region. Les Héritieres du Comte Lafon produces wines ranging from generic Mâcon up to four single-vineyard wines. With the same biodynamic techniques as used in his Meursault domaine, Lafon has crafted a range of delicious wines that show the regions true potential.

Pouilly-Fuissé is the best-known part of Mâconnais.  It was granted premier cru designation in September 2020.

The Mâconnais – Is capable of producing some very good Chardonnays. It has become a shining light for value with the ever increasing prices of Burgundy. We’ve seen producers like Comte Lafon from Meursault recognise the potential of the region, establishing the joint venture Domaine Héritiers du Comte Lafon.
