2023 Bourgogne Blanc, Dominique Lafon, Burgundy

Description

Two-thirds of the blend comes from 30-year-old vines in Puligny-Montrachet’s Femelottes; the balance is from 70-year-old vines in Grandes Coutures, just beneath Meursault Limozin. This is a benchmark Bourgogne, made entirely in oak, with mostly 500-litre barrels to preserve freshness and avoid obvious wood character. Creamy, sophisticated and with impressive complexity, this is difficult to resist.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16.5/20

Crystalline pure and crisp and well sculpted. There are many village wines less exciting than this! Good value.

Dominique’s team picked Grand Couture on 2nd September and Femelottes on 4th, He now vinifies and ages the majority in demi-muids, trials indicating that the wines are fresher and with slightly reduced alcohol this way. Pale in colour with a faint lime tint, a most delicious floral nose, all with the elegance which Dominique champions, expressing itself beautifully across the palate. Not very high in acidity, but a friendly classic.

About this wine

Bourgogne

Bourgogne

In the Burgundy hierarchy, “Bourgogne” denotes the entry level of the classification system. This is a so-called “regional” appellation, theoretically covering the entire vineyard area of Burgundy. This is distinct from the more geographically precise village-level, Premier Cru and Grand Cru designations. The two most common Bourgogne-level wines are Bourgogne Blanc (“White Burgundy”) and Bourgogne Rouge (“Red Burgundy”).
