Christophe and Dominique Lafon share the fruit of this fabulous vineyard in the heart of the Maconnais. On the nose a lovely and intense, firm, yellow fruit hit jumps out. There is a lovely tension here - a gentle tautness to the ample fruit that keeps it bouncing along really nicely. Christophe's wines have a beautiful precision to them in 2017 and this is a brilliant bottle of Burgundy. L&S (Apr 2019)

Ripe aromas with a dollop of lemon custard, some sweet pear and a sprinkle of star anise. This is rich. You know that oak is involved but ripe fruit punches its way through that layer. Apples and raisins, lightly baked in feel, then power and welcome acidity with the fruit staying pure and alive. Big and rich, but true to its fruit Rating: 92 Imbibe.com (Sept 2020)

Here too there is a whiff of the exotic on the floral-infused nose that is trimmed in a subtle application of wood. The equally rich if perhaps slightly less vibrant flavors also possess a lovely texture on the sappy and round finish. This forward effort should drink well almost immediately.

Domaine Cordier

We first started working with Christophe 20 years ago and after a short hiatus we are delighted to welcome back these great wines to our list. Christophe has continued to build on the success of his father Roger, and has brought a deft touch to the wine-making, so that the excellent fruit from their well-placed vineyards is translated into fantastic wines.

He has also increased the scale of the negociant business and with long-term ties to some great vignerons is making some consistently stylish wines under the Christophe Cordier name, rather than Domaine Cordier. In the late 90s and early 00s, part of the story here was late-picking. Christophe would take some risk in leaving the grapes hanging for as long as possible. Back then this was what we were all after and the full-on, broadly textured wines were a revelation. Christophe has reined this in somewhat and is now producing wines with a lighter touch, a fine purity. Yes, there is texture and ample weight - but there is a new harder line of minerality and slightly more taut style, these are immensely drinkable wines that encourage you to the next glass. They simply represent fantastic value for lovers of White Burgundy and fine Chardonnay.

This is the most exciting domaine in Fuissé (it is based at the top of the hill overlooking the village) and the wines are great value and qualitatively comparable with many in the Côte d'Or. Most of the vines are around Fuissé itself, and they ripen earlier than the higher vineyards of Vergisson, making for a slightly different style to Barraud.
