Dominique Lafon, one of the greatest Meursault producers, became a Burgundy trailblazer when he purchased high-elevation Chardonnay parcels in the Maconnais.  

In addition to his $300 Meursualts, you can add this gorgeous $35 white wonder to your short list of must-have whites. 

While his Maconnais Chardonnay may be more modestly priced than his collectible Meursaults, they are by no means lesser in quality! 

Macon-Milly Lamartine "Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon" is a tremendous Chardonnay value.  High-elevation clay soils yields a fresh and well-balanced Chardonnay.  Loaded with citrus zest, young grapefruit, and a dash of lemon, the faintest whisper of oak spice on the finish gives the wine an added layer of dimension and depth.

Dominque was the first Cote d'Or producer to invest in the immense potential of the Maconnais with his hilltop, old-vine parcels in 1999.   

There, steep, limestone slopes are farmed organically and are certified biodynamic.  

One of Burgundy's best-value whites from one of Burgundy's best white Burgundy producers, the 2021 Comte Lafon Macon-Milly-Lamartine is one to buy by the case! 

Enjoy!
