Artisan Vignerons du Bourgogne du Sud – 2018 Mâconnais

It’s full and it’s concentrated but it’s also largely lacking in acidity and the energy that this acidity brings. I’ve previously written that a smaller number of… Read More
Profile: Domaine des Comtes Lafon (Meursault)
The relatively understated roads that leave the centre of Meursault are dotted with a mix of small and rather grander buildings. The Domaine des Comtes Lafon is far from one of the largest, but is still reeks of different time; it’s outbuilding previously being kennels for hunting dogs and stables… Read More
