The Viré-Clessé 2023 from the Héritiers du Comte Lafon is born on the clay-limestone soils of the Mâconnais. Sourced from 60-year-old Chardonnay vines and aged in barrels, it reveals aromas of exotic fruits, citrus and flowers, enhanced by a chalky minerality. On the palate, its lively tension and silky balance linger. Perfect with fish or cheeses, it will keep until 2033.
A family estate rooted in the Mâconnais, Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon perpetuate a viticultural heritage in which biodynamic farming brings out the best of the Burgundian 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 and vibrant wines that are true to their origin.
