2009 Mâcon Villages Héritiers du Comte Lafon

Macon Villages Heritiers du Comte Lafon
One of Burgundy’s greatest white wine producers here offers an affordable and immediately attractive wine from a beautiful vintage.

In September 1999 the Lafon family of Meursault, fed up with being ‘sold out’ all the time, bought a domaine in the Mâconnais at Milly-Lamartine, renaming it Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon. Further vineyards were added in 2003 and 2010. The whole operation, based at Milly, the birthplace of the poet Lamartine, is now looked after by the talented Caroline Gon under the supervision of Dominique Lafon. This wine has been vinified partly in stainless steel vats and partly in large wooden foudres (ovals).

It is made from a blend of vineyards mostly coming from the villages of Milly, Uchizy and Chardonnay. It is bottled with a stelvin screwcap closure. 2009 was an exceptionally successful vintage for Lafon’s Mâconnais wines, the best they have made to date. This is partly due to the summer sunshine, but also to the progress made in the vineyards which were first converted to organic and now to biodynamic farming.
