A joint project between Dominique Lafon and Olivier Merlin, this is a small production, hard-to-find wine that represents one of the great white Burgundy bargains today. The Mâconnais region of Burgundy has no Grand Cru vineyards, but if they did, "Clos des Quarts" would undoubtedly be it. One third of plantings date back to 1917 and the rest are 50-60 years old. Always elegant and refined, with density of old vine fruit balanced by freshness ...
The 2018 vintage was met with a unanimous show of satisfaction from the north of Bourgogne to the south. The exceptional weather, especially during the harvest period, resulted in grapes with perfect health, allowing picking to extend over almost a whole month. Initial tastings ahead of the Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction have given an early idea that 2018 will be a truly great year.
