The 2020 Clos du Four is a vibrant, finely textured, and beautifully expressive Chardonnay that captures both the warmth of the vintage and Lafon’s hallmark precision. Aromas of white peach, ripe pear, lemon zest, and acacia blossom rise with clarity, accentuated by notes of crushed stone and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is supple yet energized, offering a graceful interplay of ripe orchard fruit and bright acidity supported by a clean, chalk-driven mineral line. Gentle hints of citrus cream and toasted nuances add depth without compromising freshness. The finish is long, pure, and harmoniously balanced, showcasing the tension and finesse that define Clos du Four. The 2020 vintage delivers immediate charm while promising several years of elegant evolution.

Héritiers des Comtes Lafon is the Mâconnais outpost of the famed Comtes Lafon estate of Meursault, created to bring the domaine’s uncompromising standards and precision to southern Burgundy. Under the direction of Dominique Lafon, the vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically, emphasizing soil vitality, low yields, and meticulous handwork. The wines are crafted with the same philosophy that guides Lafon’s Côte d’Or bottlings: gentle pressing, native-yeast fermentations, minimal intervention, and careful élevage in a mix of stainless steel and seasoned oak. The goal is clarity, purity, and an honest expression of terroir. Clos du Four, one of the domaine’s premier sites in Milly-Lamartine, stands out for its limestone-rich soils and elevated exposure, yielding Chardonnay with tension, lift, and a beautifully defined mineral core.
