This is very good, very balanced, good acidity, very juicy, very everything. Not one bit of oxidation, can hold several more years. One weakness though (and maybe it's just me) : nothing distintive either, I might forget this wine soon.

This was a little less bright and juicy than I have experienced with my previous bottles, but I still give it the overall average representative for this vintage of this bottling. Strong apple and floral but not as rich on the palate as some of the other bottling's (Clos du Four and Vire-Clesse), but always cool fresh wine on a lovely warm evening and why these are my go to Macon wines worth the extra costs for being Lafon.

Nice transparent yellow color. This wine benefits from a double decanting, not overchilling, and additional air. Nose is that of a smoky chardonnay, with some sort of exotic tropical fruit. Nice balancing acidity, excellent concentration and medium plus finish.

@Cracco Galleria, Milano. Transparent light yellow, notes of tropical fruits nose with some smoky hints. Balanced acidity, fresh fruits, dry apricot, elegant and complexed. Well paired with a series of entrees typical of the Chef. With L&L and their friends, C&DF

Nez assez mur, fruits à chair jaune un peu, melon. Bouche avec une belle rondeur à l'attaque, acidité presente mais pas tranchante comme souvent avec ce producteur, empreinte de 2015 surement mais très bon 88-89
