Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon, Pouilly-Fuissé en Chatenay (Mâconnais, Burgundy, France) 2020

Sep 10, 2024

By Miranda Franco

 Founded in 1999 by Dominique Lafon, Héritiers du Comte Lafon is his biodynamic Mâconnais domaine.  His 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé en Chatenay is a beautifully rich yet balanced wine, offering vibrant notes of lemon, mandarin, stone fruits, and freshly baked bread. Its mineral backbone, a hallmark of the Mâcon’s limestone-rich soils, shines through.  The texture is soft and mouth-coating, while the long, mineral-driven finish, with hints of sea salt, is framed by bright, lively acidity that adds freshness and precision.
