Tasting notes
Toasty nose with strong green vegetal notes underneath. This certainly isn’t as confident and accomplished as the Lafon Mâcons yet. A little bit stringy textured. (JR)

Lovely energy on the nose – more than a hint of the wet stones of the Puligny cave even though it’s from many miles further south. Very dense and solid. Not graceful – so chewy – but admirable. Look forward to seeing future vintages. (JR)
Pineapple, apple, light spices, slight chalk and slate undertones. Good core concentration and punch while retaining deftness of touch through the acidity. (RH)
