Soft flavors and perfect acidity accented the tables salad course. Kudos all around for this balanced and long finishing wine.

First bottling of this site. Open, generous and yet mysterious. Nice to experience fruit not sequestered by sulphur.

Young but full of character. Really enjoyed it given how much poxed white Burg I've had lately.

Very pale straw color. Weightless wine. Pleasant high pitched acidity, Somewhere between restrained and austere.

Full-bodied, buttery and too oaky for me. Reminded of better New World Chardonnay, but with a little bigger acidic kick (although still medium–). I expected more finesse and detail from this site and from Lafon in general. Must be the vintage.

Creamy, but not buttery. Hint of oak. Full bodied. Light acidity.
