Viré-Clessé Blanc 2022 | Wine from Domaine Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon

The Domaine Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon is the work of Dominique Lafon, an iconic winemaker from Meursault. In 1999, he invested in the Mâconnais, attracted by the potential of this region. Cultivated using biodynamic practices, the 20 hectares of vines he manages benefit from the same rigor as his plots in Côte de Beaune. This approach gives rise to wines of remarkable precision, combined with a great aromatic freshness.
