A light medium yellow-gold, commensurate with age. This was a superb bottle, tons of complexity at this age. It is round and quite intense with a racy streak. A lovely marriage of citrus and creamy fruit, but with a stony intensity and a great smoky aftertaste. Excellent.

I think expectations are higher given the producer, but I think this is a really fine Macon with rich apple and luscious mouthfeel. Yet it has plenty of acidity for the finish. Yeah, it is double the price of most Macon wines and not what a Comtes Lafon Meursault would be, but to me it is amazing neutral oak Chardonnay for early drinking when the fruit is still the driving force. They can age some, but I prefer them in the 1st 4-5 years. Les Maranches has been one of the most reliable vineyards after a friend recommended it to me.

J'aime beaucoup les Mâcon des Héritiers du Comte Lafon avec les fromages, en particulier le cheddar fort. La discrète note de fermentation malolactique en fait un accord facile. Des vins blancs qui se boivent merveilleusement bien en ce moment, avec le repas comme seuls.

Decant for 90min, better wait 2 years … 2014 needs time.
