MasteRs OThe Vineyard, Fall Edition, 2007DOMinique LafOnThe wines of Comte Lafon rarely need introduction since this is one of Burgundy’s top estates. They arerenowned for producing some of the most sought after, complex and age worthy white wines from thevillage of Meursault.doMiniquE LAFon, ProPriETor PhoTos By jEAn chEVALdonnéLes HeRitieRsDu COMte LafOn“The most famous white burgundies come from the Côte d’Or, but the best values in these wines hailfrom the Mâconnais, the region just to the south. There, young winemakers have begun bottling theirown wines instead of selling to cooperatives. They are also breaking with tradition by fermenting andaging their wine in stainless steel rather than oak, thus giving the wine a fresher taste. The vintage ofchoice is 2005, but 2004 offers many pleasant surprises and well-stored 2002s are drinking beautifully.Prices run from $15 to $30 per bottle, with a few old vine offerings pushing into the $40-to-$50 zone…Famous for its white Burgundy, this domaine also makes a half-dozen or so offerings of 100%Chardonnay wines. They are crisp, delicious, and loaded with minerals, poached pears, and butteredcitrus. They offer lovely drinking during their first four to five years of life.” Robert Parker2006 Macon Bussieres __________________________________________________________ 34.992006 Macon Chardonnay Clos du la Crochette __________________________________________ 34.992005 Mâcon Chardonnay Clos du la Crochette __________________________________________ 29.992004 Mâcon Chardonnay Clos du la Crochette __________________________________________ 27.99“The 2004 Mâcon-Chardonnay Clos de la Crochette explodes from the glass with multitudes of ripe yellowplums and white peaches. A deliciously creamy, soft wine, it coats the taster’s palate with its ample layers ofyellow fruits.
