Burgundy 2023 En Primeur

Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon 2023

The 2023 Mâconnias releases from Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon are here! A little like 2022, they show the southern reaches of Burgundy in all it’s sun-kissed glory, and there is a healthy-sized crop to boot.

We will report on the region in more depth later in the year after we visit Burgundy, but for now, these Lafon wines represent some of the best fine wine bargains out there!

The Vintage

A mild winter and some cool and choppy weather in spring gave way to an even and warm end of May. Flowering and fruit set enjoyed ideal conditions and laid the foundations for a good crop. Summer was hot, and dry again, although the nights were cool. August storms slowed things down and coupled with lower levels of sunshine hours versus 2022, meant a later harvest – 10 days or so. Harvest conditions were warm to hot, and the fruit quality was high with very little instance of disease or mildew.  The wines are expressive and fresh, they have richness without feeling too dense, with a mix of citrus, white fruits, and attractive floral qualities.

    Still White

    The ripeness of the vintage shines here, offering rich and aromatic stone fruits, and juicy citrus that goes beyond lime and lemon. Weighty but structured and nicely balanced, with superb length of flavour. Delicious!
