Note di degustazione
The 2016 Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine Clos du Four is also reduced, unfurling with aeration to offer up notes of orchard fruits, chamomile and iodine. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and deep, with pleasing completeness and tangy, even edgy acids. It needs a year or two in bottle to unwind, as the wine is still somewhat raw at present. Very little débourgage was performed in 2016 for this cuvée, and I suspect the wine will always remain somewhat reductive in profile. The pH is less than 3.0.

‘A bit like Perrières is in Meursault: great wine but less easy. Needs an occasion.’ Old vines, late ripening and planted high up. Just puncheons. Real zest and lime and appeal. Still pretty dry on the end. Lots of tension. (JR)
(done entirely in demi-muids ; Gon keeps more lees as this wine has a tendency toward reduction--and high acidity): ; keep more lees; always more reduced): Pale lemon-yellow with a green tinge. A note of white pepper reduction to the slightly high-toned aromas of lemon and lime. Then bright and tight in the mouth, showing a light phenolic edge to its citrus flavors. This rather masculine wine is more about power than finesse. Finishes brisk and persistent but a bit wound up in the early going. The pH here is around 3.0, with 4.6 grams of acidity.
