Why You'll Love It
Soft, easy drinking Chardonnay from the south of France with top-tier Burgundian pedigree? Yes please! Plump and creamy with peach, pineapple and citrus fruits with a little nuttiness. Round and smooth, but with no shortage of freshness. Zippy acidity and a saline edge give this wine bags of energy. This is very classy. Look, I am not going to compare this wine to Meursault, but... Bruno knows what he is doing with his Chardonnay. Perfect with shellfish like crab and prawns, fish pâtés, or chicken terrine. 
About The Producer
If you recognise Bruno's surname, you clearly have expensive taste. Yes, he is from the family of Domaine des Comtes Lafon, one of Burgundy’s benchmark Meursault producers. Bruno grew up in Burgundy, where he cut his winemaking teeth at the family winery, before moving to the south of France more than two decades ago to realise the region’s massive potential.

As a Burgundian he was particularly dreaming of making high class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in a place that was beginning to turn out a lot of the stuff, but not a lot of it very well. He works with fruit from rarefied sites like in Limoux, famed for centuries for its sparkling wine, and other plots with cooler aspects.
Winemaking Information
Bruno Lafon sources Chardonnay from cooler vineyard sites in the Languedoc, where Mediterranean sunshine is tempered by Atlantic influences and higher elevations. The grapes are harvested at night to retain freshness before the juice is clarified at low temperatures and fermented in stainless steel at 16–17°C. The wine is then aged in stainless steel and lightly filtered before bottling, preserving the purity of the fruit while building a smooth, rounded texture.
