The 2022 Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine Clos du Four has a touch of reduction on the nose, but I like the flintiness that comes through on the aromatics with aeration. The palate is well-balanced, with a citric line of acidity, lime and orange pith, and a vibrant and persistent finish. One of my picks from the Domaine this vintage. 

Even though it is known as the top site for Lafon's Mâcon operation, I was still surprised at how well the Clos du Four did in the torrid conditions of 2022. The wine had a bright, lemony fruit and abundant acidity to keep it vibrant, yet it had a rich, unctuous texture and continued to echo impressively on the finish. The grapes are from a 1.4 hectare site that overlooks the winery, high on the slope, facing east, pressed as whole clusters and fermented in 500- and 600-litre casks. Although it should drink well on release, it can easily cellar well.
