Note di degustazione
Mingling aromas of citrus rind and peach with nuances of paraffin wax, blanched almonds and white flowers, the 2017 Mâcon-Chardonnay Clos de la Crochette is medium to full-bodied, satiny-textured and charming, with good concentration and chalky extract, girdled by lively acids. This is another fine bottling from a very successful vintage for the Héritiers du Comte Lafon.

Argilo-calcaire soil. South-facing and the earliest ripening even though it’s way north of Milly-Lamartine and a little north of Uchizy, because it’s at a lower elevation. Monopole of 3 ha (around 7 acres). Mix of demi-muids and foudres. Bottled. Not as fruity on the nose as Le Monsard, more that white mushroom savoury note I get on Pinot Blanc. A touch of spice, and then tight and salty on the palate, precise and linear but with a slight grip to add length and weight in the mouth. (JH)
