Guillaume Lafon Bourgogne Blanc, Burgundy, France 2024

Bourgogne Blanc, Burgundy 2024

A remarkable Bourgogne Blanc from Guillaume Lafon, the next generation of one of Burgundy’s most respected winemaking families. The 2024 draws on exceptional vineyard sources, including mature Chardonnay vines in Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, delivering a level of pedigree rarely found at this appellation. Bright lemon, white nectarine and crisp orchard fruit lead into delicate flinty minerality and subtle spice. The palate is fresh and finely textured, balancing generous fruit with vibrant acidity and a long, elegant finish. Carefully crafted in oak, primarily larger-format barrels, it offers complexity without sacrificing precision. A superb introduction to the Lafon style. And an outstanding opportunity to enjoy serious Côte de Beaune Chardonnay without stepping up to village-level pricing.
