Nose: Popcorn, white linen and lemon meringue to start. Then, lychee essence and white peach, jicama foam and sun-kissed rock. #itsallhappening
💛Transition, on the palate, to: rockin acidity (merci), integrated alcohol, cobbler peaches, buttery popcorn and radness. The layers drop off a bit thereafter, but for a Macon the general sense is of white Burgundy excellence, at an incredible value.

Starting to oxidize unfortunately. Bruised apples. Still light and enjoyable.

Does not show the heaviness one might expect from 2011. Aromatics are a tad muted, but still show some floral & citrus notes. The palate is alive with herbal accented lemon notes & a hint of smoke on the finish. Acidity structure is strong here. Lafon's Macon wines are lovely.

Lemon curd, green apples, custard, carnations, nectarines, vanilla candle, honeysuckle, chamomile, quince paste. Rounded acidity, silky slightly oily coating texture, medium bodied, lengthy slightly floral/smoky finish. Balanced, harmonious oak integration, age worthy, outshines some Burgundian produces for 1/4 of the price. Highly enjoyable, strongly recommended.
