Les Aigrots Beaune 1er Cru Chardonnay

Oxidized style. One note apple pie. Rich, leesy palate.

Blanc. One if the best bottles of Lafarge I've had. Honeycomb, crazy chalky almost Chablis-like minerality, latecomer nutmeggy apple sauce, just perfect acid, and a bit of funky latex rubber glove-just enough for me. Just sang alongside lemon sole and bacon, browned onions, and a kale and apple salad. It's rare in my experience that the Lafarge wines feel ready and generous, but this was yielding yet youthful and impressive. Very glad I chose to drink this somewhere btwn relaxed and on the fruit. Opened this fearing I'd be disappointed by it, but ended up so pleasantly surprised. Man this would be so great with trout.

Grilled lemon, rich texture but still with good minerality coming though. Lengthy.

This wine is ridiculously good. See Jonathan Lipsmeyer's notes. Well said.

A little pox'd. :-/

2011 vintage. A snappy, delicious chard. Lots of freshness, mineral, citrus. Would drink this every night! 10% new barrique. Great to pour with the Lafarge family at #lapaulee!

For a producer who is most often celebrated for their reds, this is delicious!
