Héritiers du Comte Lafon Mâcon-Bussières Le Monsard 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Burgundy
R725
‘This delightful single-vineyard Mâcon shows a lush, floral-scented apricot fruit with accents of spice and butter. The texture is rich, supple and dense, yet not lacking in tension. The site at the base of the slope turns all the way around the base of the rock. In 2022, the picking began on 26 August because of dry conditions; the result recalls the richness of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation located just to the south. 2023-2030’ – Charles Curtis MW, Decanter, 91/100
‘The 2022 Mâcon-Bussières Le Monsard has a livelier bouquet than the Clos de la Crochette with peach skin and caramelized pear aromas. The palate is well-balanced with impressive concentration, quite opulent in style, and a touch of lemongrass towards the persistent, generous finish. 2024-2032’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 91/100

| Producer information | Considered one of the finest winemakers in France, Meursault-God Dominique Lafon bought property in the Mâcon in 1999. He believed strongly in the region, but felt that too few vignerons had attempted to realise its full potential. Thus, in the very same spirit that he runs his renowned Meursault domaine, Dominique utilises biodynamic viticulture, intense soil rejuvenation, tight yield control and rigorous green harvesting in the Mâcon. Ageing occurs in a mixture of steel tanks, wooden foudres, and demi-muid oak casks, and he produces some of the most complex, vibrant and impressive wines the region has ever seen! |
