94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "A ripe apple fruit tending slightly towards the tropical. The fruit is pressed as whole clusters and fermented in large casks to give a wine of lovely concentration, complexity and expressiveness - one of the top wines of the Mâconnais. Lafon has 1.4ha in the Clos du Four, which is considered one of the premier sites in the Mâcon appellation. The east-facing vineyard with its stony soils is planted mid-slope at about 250m, making it one of the later-ripening sites, but the fruit ripens well here. Drinking Window: 2023-2030. (Oct 2021)"

93 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com).

92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Mâcon-Lilly-Lamartine Clos du Four was bottled just before the harvest. Lovely tangerine, citrus peel and pressed yellow flower scents on the nose, the palate opens nicely with impressive concentration, fine acidity and veins of stem ginger towards the persistent, Muscat-tinged finish. Excellent. Closure: Diam. Drink: 2022-2032. (Nov 2021)"
