Comtes Lafon Macon Milly Lamartine 2016 (750ML)

87-89 BH / 88 VM

Tasting note: As it often is at this stage, this is much more aromatically restrained; indeed today it's almost mute and only grudgingly offers up lemon-tinged green apple aromas. The supple, round and attractively textured flavors flash a touch of minerality on the very dry finish where a hint of grapefruit arises. Allen Meadows - Burghound

(two-thirds done in foudres and one-third in demi-muids): Bright yellow. Deeper aromas of white peach, citrus fruit, menthol, flowers and medicinal herbs. Offers moderate depth of texture but harmonious acidity gives the dry lemon, lime, spice and herb flavors more structure and grip than the Mâcon-Prissé. And longer on the aftertaste, displaying an herbal complexity. This wine has a very low pH of 3.02, and just over 4.5 grams per liter acidity, according to winemaker Caroline Gon.
