It's a chance to see what Chardonnay from this part of Burgundy does when it's made like serious white Burgundy and then given time in bottle. Lafon founded Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon in 1999 and converted the vineyards to biodynamics within a few years. Caroline Gon, his longtime apprentice, has run the cellar since 2006, so this vintage is hers. Les Maranches is a lieu-dit (a named vineyard site) in Uchizy, in the northern Mâconnais. Two parcels there face south at about 200 metres, on shallow clay full of white limestone rocks from the bedrock below. Half the vines were planted in 1977 and half in 1999. The richer soil and better exposure mean the site ripens earlier than the domaine's southern vineyards in Milly. The house treats these once-overlooked parcels as if they were premier crus and ages its wines only in large, neutral oak. That kind of ambition makes an aged bottle worth opening.","brand":"Acker Merrall \u0026 Condit [AC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50820830887993,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-PVT-ACELL-PEPE-101626-LHCLMULM2007-ROW11-BOX 12","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/les-heritiers-du-comte-lafon-macon-uchizy-les-maranches-2007-acell-pepe-pvt","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
