From a relatively cool, east-facing vineyard at 300 metres’ altitude, this is delightfully pure and mineral; its aromas leaning more towards ripe citrus (grapefruit) than stone fruit. The long, saline finish confirms its pedigree.
Will Heslop - Wine Buyer

The flagship vineyard has a really delightful bouquet in 2011, with wild flowers and delicious vanilla notes. White peaches dominate the palate, with a perfect balancing acidity and excellent length showing through on the finish. The wine demonstrates perfectly what Dominique Lafon is trying to achieve with his white Burgundy.
Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director Dominique Lafon’s Mâcon project has been performing to a very high standard during the last several vintages. The wines show all the qualities you would expect from a master winemaker, yet there is no sense at all that he is trying to Côte d’Or wines here. Each cuvée stands out with its own personal characteristics, be it the grace of Clos de la Crochette, the weight of Viré-Clessé or the mineral tension of Clos du Four.
