THE COMPANY

Dominique Lafon’s adventure in the Mâconnais began in 1999, involving the Lafon family in the purchase of the first part of the 26 hectares that now make up the estate south of the Côte de Beaune, in an area that until a few years ago was known for its “fresh and easy-to-drink” wines, but which has now established itself for the high quality of its appellations. Only Chardonnay grapes (the village of Chardonnay is within the AOC a few kilometres north of Mâcon, bordering Uchizy) are used in the Domaine’s wines, which are the result of the experience and style of the eclectic Dominique, who has brought to the Mâconnais the finesse and depth characteristic of the great wines of Burgundy. Fine wines, capable of good aging, which offer the possibility to enjoy a great white Burgundy wine even in the southest area of this winegrowing region, which is today the center of interest of quality wine lovers in the world. Each wine highlights the minerality and ‘tension’ of the individual terroirs, whose facets are always clearly recognisable and make this estate, especially through its Viré-Clessé, a true standard-bearer for the Mâconnais region.
