The Viré-Clessé 2023 from Héritiers du Comte Lafon comes from the clay-limestone soils of the Mâconnais. Made from 60-year-old Chardonnay vines and aged in barrels, it reveals aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, and flowers, enhanced by chalky minerality. On the palate, its lively tension and silky balance linger. Perfect with fish or cheese, it can be cellared until 2033.
A family estate rooted in the Mâconnais, Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon carries on a winemaking heritage in which biodynamics brings out the best of Burgundy’s terroir.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone soils on the east-facing slopes of Viré-Clessé, where Chardonnay reveals its minerality and freshness.
- Winemaking: Aged in large barrels and demi-muids with indigenous yeasts, producing precise, vibrant wines true to their origins.
