Description
Dominique Lafon had been eyeing land and property in the Maconnais for some time before he eventually bought some cellars and vineyards around the village of Milly. Here he recognised an opportunity to produce some very good yet very well-priced wines which is exactly what he has achieved.
These are intense, complex examples of Mâcon, aged in a mixture of steel tanks, wooden foudres, and demi-muid oak casks.
THE WINE ADVOCATE Rating 90 - Drink Date 2020 - 2030
"Wafting from the glass with aromas of mandarin orange, citrus blossom and fresh peach, the 2018 Mâcon-Uchizy Les Maranches is medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit and a charming, seamless profile. As usual, some muscaté selections of Chardonnay make themselves felt." - William Kelley, 2020
