Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine, Clos du Four, 2024
Glorious citrus notes with an added dimension of fresh tropical yellow fruit, pineapple, mango and guava over a fine mineral line. Beautifully clear but also with more depth, tension and energy than others in the range. The lowest of the Milly vines but planted on very poor, rocky clay 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).
critic reviews
The 2024 Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine Clos du Four retains its usual expressive bouquet with scents of lime, citrus peel and light lavender aromas. The palate is clean and pure, a fine bead of acidity with hints of grapefruit and passion fruit towards the finish. This is nicely composed and very approachable.
