| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by JM_MadTown on 9/21/2020 & rated 91 points: I agree that this wine has some complexity and a lovely nose of ripe orchard fruits. On the palate, it is really an amazing wine for a Pouilly Fuiseé. Lots of orchard fruits, some oak, nice minerality, and very full mouthfeel. A long finish.

Dominique Lafon
Description of the domain:
The LAFON family became the owners of the “Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon” estate in 1999.
We have three large areas of vines:
7.59 ha in the Milly-Lamartine and Bussières area
6.94 ha in the Chardonnay and Uchizy area
6.58 ha in the Viré-Clessé area since 2009
The soils are argilo-calcareous and planted solely with Chardonnay. The vines vary in age from 20–40 years, except for the area in the Viré appellation, where the vines are up to 60 years old.
Even though the Estate is not officially certified, we’ve been applying the principles of biodynamics in cultivating our vines for many years.
Vinification is traditional and maturing takes place mainly in tuns and large casks.

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
