Gentle at first, the 2022 Héritiers du Comte Lafon Viré-Clessé builds into a concentrated, mouthwatering core of white peach and ripe orchard fruit, lifted by citrus brightness and floral top notes. The palate is succulent yet taut, with clean, persistent acidity and a faint savory-saline edge that gives the finish both grip and complexity.
Seared scallops with lemon butter; Roast chicken with thyme and garlic; Comté cheese

Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon’s Viré‑Clessé is a 100% Chardonnay from old vines in the Viré‑Clessé commune of the Mâconnais, vinified with traditional whole‑cluster pressing and fermented/aged in large casks (upright foudres and demi‑muids) with a biodynamic approach. It typically shows bright yellow and white orchard fruits, floral and beeswax notes, a chalky mineral backbone and a supple, textural mid‑palate—an elegant, terroir‑driven Mâcon wine with good drinkability on release and the potential to develop over several years.
