Héritiers du Comte Lafon Mâcon-Uchizy Les Maranches 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Burgundy
R725
‘The 2022 Mâcon-Uchizy Les Maranches has a more austere bouquet demanding some coaxing from the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a saline entry and fine weight in the mouth. Not complex per se, yet it feels quite long and spicy on the finish. Fine. 2023-2030’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 90/100
‘Pale lemon. Ripe, apple with a slightly waxy quality. Open. Simple but very fresh, with juicy acidity and good focus. 2025-2030’ – Matthew Hayes, jancisrobinson.com, 16/20

| 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!
‘Dominique Lafon’s wines are some of the world’s finest whites, hence they are also some of the most sought-after. Watch out for the Mâconnais wines which offer superb value and similar refinement.’ – Roland Peens |
