Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon Macon Milly Lamartine 2009

Macon, France. Chardonnay. 13%. Cork. Approx $A47.

Spotted today with two of its slightly more expensive siblings. Not surprisingly this is bright and primary, with flint and stone and a prickle of sulphur. Grilled peach and ripe pineapple set the tone and despite the initial suggestion of mineral this is no lapidary wine. Rounded and fleshy in mouth with almond meal, marzipan and sweet slightly spiced oak.

Serendipity - Looking for saffron and chorizo for paella and finding a bottle of wine by a favourite producer. . .

Jesse,

Thank you for the ear worm. . .

Nick,

I liked it (putting on my numbers hat - 91), but was hoping for something with less augmentation and make up. What did you think?
