Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon En Chatenay - Pouilly-Fuissé - White - 2022 :

 

The HERITIERS DU COMTE LAFON POUILLY FUISSE EN CHATENAY: A Benchmark Mâconnais White

Crafted by the team behind the legendary Domaine des Comtes Lafon, the 'Les Héritiers' project is dedicated to showcasing the exceptional potential of the Mâconnais region. This Pouilly-Fuissé from the single-vineyard 'En Chatenay' is a stunning expression of Chardonnay. It is biodynamically farmed and aged in large format oak, resulting in a wine that is both rich and precise, offering superb concentration and cellaring capability.

Tasting Notes: Richness Meets Precision

• **Colour:** Pale gold with vibrant emerald tints.
• **Nose:** Highly aromatic, presenting a sophisticated mix of ripe stone fruit (apricot, peach), lemon curd, and a subtle smokiness from the oak, underpinned by flinty minerality.
• **Palate:** Generous and round on entry, building to a focused, linear mid-palate thanks to its refreshing acidity. The finish is lengthy, leaving notes of brioche, buttered toast, and a pleasant salinity.

Food Matching & Temperature

This wine demands a slightly cool serving temperature (12-14°C). Pair it with sophisticated main courses. It is delicious upon release but will gain tertiary complexity over the next decade.
