Burghound, 

"A more floral and less citrusy nose offers up notes of white orchard fruit and lemon rind. Here too there is very good volume and intensity to the more attractively textured flavors that possess better depth on the markedly dry but not really austere finale. This is very good in the context of the genre and worth a look. *Burghound Outstanding Top Value!*"

Wine Advocate, 

"A fine effort, the 2020 Bourgogne Blanc reveals aromas of pear, citrus oil and freshly baked bread. Medium-bodied, bright and elegantly fleshy, it's a pretty, fine-boned wine that concludes with a saline finish. Deriving from a parcel owned and farmed by Lafon, it's vinified in fûts and demi-muids." 

Jasper Morris,

"From two fine vineyards, Femelottes and Grands Coutures. Two thirds made in barrel and one third in demi-muids, racked to tank, to bottle before Christmas. Glowing lemon and lime. Showing a classic lees-infused generous bouquet, this is as beautiful as ever, with a superb texture and really pretty fruit at perfect ripeness. Dominique can judge these things! Potential to keep as well. Lovely little point of acidity to finish."
