    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon, Mâcon Milly, Clos du Four, 2022

    Tense but powerful and full-bodied. Mineral with a certain grip and structure to it. One of the most serious, firm and complex Macons you’ll find – this has a Côte d’Or-like mineral depth and intensity to it. The wine relaxes and uncoils with air, exhibiting more complexity and fruit on the long, expansive finish. Very complete and multi-dimensional. The lowest of the Milly vines but planted on very poor, rocky soils giving intense, crisp minerally Mâcons. Clos du Four is the most mineral and least Mâcon-like of the Héritiers Lafon wines. The only wine to be aged in demi-muid only, the rest of the wines are half aged in demi-muid and half in foudres.

    The 2022 Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine Clos du Four has a touch of reduction on the nose, but I like the flintiness that comes through on the aromatics with aeration. The palate is well-balanced, with a citric line of acidity, lime and orange pith, and a vibrant and persistent finish. One of my picks from the Domaine this vintage.
