The grapes come from three lieux-dits: “En Bergeron”, “Montchanin”, and “En Combes”. The vineyards are on clay-limestone soils, at 250m altitude, and the vines 25+ years old.

The palate is very well balanced with a peppery opening, fine weight and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1999 by Dominique Lafon, Héritiers du Comte Lafon is his trailblazing, biodynamic Mâconnais domaine. These world class Chardonnay display what this magical region is capable of producing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, the Mâconnais was known for industrially farmed, volume driven wines. Dominique was  the first Cote d’Or producer to invest in the immense potential hidden in those rolling hills by buying higher altitude, old vine parcels with the intent of letting this beautiful terroir (perhaps the most picturesque wine region in the world) reach its full potential. He started by converting all of the vineyards to biodynamic farming: the Lafon way!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shawn Fine Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48547841900776,"sku":"210000015962","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/3706\/5960\/files\/UseThis-ComingSoonPhoto-SmallerSize.jpg?v=1771361170","url":"https:\/\/www.shawnfinewine.com\/products\/les-heritiers-du-comte-lafon-chardonnay-saint-veran-maconnais-burgundy-france-2024","provider":"Shawn Fine Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
