The Comte Lafon family took their Meursault instincts south to the Mâcon, and this is what happens when biodynamic farming meets clay-limestone and 30-year-old vines on south-facing slopes at 200 meters. Indigenous yeast, then aging in big 45hl casks and 500-liter demi-muids. Vessels large enough to stay out of the way, so what you get is orchard fruit, chalky minerality, and a mid-palate with real tension. Serious white Burgundy address, without the Côte d'Or price tag.

Professional Ratings

91 Vinous

The 2023 Mâcon-Chardonnay Clos de la Crochette has one of the best aromatics of the range: crushed stone, sea cave and light Granny Smith scents with good focus. The palate is well balanced with a crisp entry. This has fine weight and density but is more backward and perhaps befits a couple of years in bottle.
