Ouvert et bu durant 90 min. Une touche de réduction au nez qui disparaît assez vite, ensuite classique et bien vinifié. On sent la richesse du millésime mais ça reste bien équilibré. Très bon.

Has a bright yellow gold color, very bright nose and on the initial taste, then gets richer citrus and apples on the mid-palate. I'd like to keep these longer to see what they become, but they are just so delicious at 4-5 years. My substitute for a cru white burgundy when I want a reliable bottle.

Lunch at Bar-a-Thym (Bar-a-Thym, Singapore): Pretty nice. It was a little tight and sulphury when first opened, but developed a nice nose of ripe melons and stone fruit, alongside earth and mineral notes, and then a little blush of spice at the sides. The palate had a creamy ripeness to it as one would expect from a warm year Macon, with flavours of sweet lemons and green apples, but there was also lovely acidity to balance it out, with a surprising amount of fresh citrus and a nice chalky mineral tail at the end. A nice Macon village, simple, yet not too facile, and nicely quaffable in its youth. May not be one for the long term, but it should continue to improve with a few years in the bottle.

The line up of whites from Heritiers du Comte Lafon is terrific; I had ordered a mixed set of 18 bottles of the 2018s and an already through nearly half. This is a slight step up from the Macon Bussieres. Creamy, lemony, well balanced, good as an aperitif or with food, whatever. Just enjoy!

By the glass. Ripe and fruity (grapefruit, quince, lemon confit) on the nose but with enough freshness on the palate to find a point of balance to such density and bitterness. Marble quarry final. Not bad considering its youth.
Por copas. Maduro y afrutado (pomelo, membrillo, limón confitado) en nariz aunque con la frescura suficiente al paladar para encontrar un punto de equilibrio a semejante densidad y amargor. Final de cantera de marmol. No está mal considerando su juventud.

Tasted blind. Crisp nose of white flowers, tart stone fruit, and some tropical fruit components. Nice acidity with lemon, minerals, and good freshness, yet also somewhat round mouthfeel. Good finish. Great QPR!

Lemons, lemon curd, pear, minerals and a slightly saline finish. Delicious Macon Chardonnay. Comtes Lafon doesn’t miss.

Honey, lemon, pear. Nutty complexity.

Light straw gold, lighter-bodied, with a lemony salinity that finishes smoothly.

Light Chard. Too high. Can’t write no more.
