Two decades on

while whole-bunch pressing and native yeast fermentation in neutral oak for nineteen months build complexity without masking authenticity

which combine to create an attractive

and flinty minerality with great depth and freshness

spread across several plots of albariza on the Atlantic edge of town

Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon Saint-Veran 2024 ALTCALI Two decades onDominique Lafon, the renowned Meursault winemaker, founded Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon in 1999 to show what the Maconnais could do, farming biodynamically and bottling world class Chardonnay at fair prices. Saint Veran is a step up from village Macon, a proper appellation that gives a richer, more substantial white. In Lafon's hands it stays precise and energetic rather than heavy, with real depth for the money. Drink now or hold a few years.
