"The 2017 Saint-Véran exhibits aromas of citrus oil, crisp green apple, almond paste and white flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive palate, its charming core of fruit tempered by racy acids, and concluding with a mineral finish.
The Lafon family established this important domaine in the village of Milly-Lamartine in 1999, which now amounts to over 25 hectares, all farmed biodynamically. Vinification is mostly in foudres and demi-muids, though the domaine's Pouilly-Fuissé ferments in used 225-liter barrels, with élevage typically completed with a few months on the lees in stainless steel. Caroline Gon runs the estate, overseen by Dominique Lafon. 2017 is one of the most successful vintages that I've tasted from Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon, the wines displaying all the cut and tension that's their signature, combined with plenty of crisply fleshy fruit to cloak their acid structure. All the wines reviewed here come warmly recommended."
