The 2023 Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine “Clos du Four” is a refined, mineral-driven Burgundy Chardonnay from a prized single vineyard in the Mâconnais. Crafted using biodynamic practices, it highlights the purity and precision of limestone-rich terroir, offering a more elegant and terroir-focused expression of southern Burgundy.The nose is lifted and expressive, showing citrus zest, green apple and white flowers, layered with flinty minerality and subtle almond notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a fine balance of freshness and texture. Bright citrus flavours of lime and orange pith are supported by crisp acidity and a lightly creamy mouthfeel, leading to a long, focused and mineral-driven finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout entry-level fine Burgundy for customers looking to explore high-quality Chardonnay beyond the Côte de Beaune. It offers precision, minerality and great value for its pedigree. Drink now or over the next 6–8 years. Perfect with seafood, roast chicken, creamy dishes or light French cuisine.
