2023 LES HÉRITIERS DU COMTE LAFON Mâcon-Bussières "Le Monsard"
Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon is the acclaimed Mâconnais project established by Dominique Lafon of Meursault’s famed Domaine Comte Lafon. Bringing the same biodynamic rigor, low-intervention techniques, and pursuit of precision to the south, the estate has redefined the qualitative potential of the region. The Mâcon-Bussières comes from the "Le Monsard" parcel, situated on a steep, chalk-heavy slope that naturally imparts a intense mineral line and vibrant freshness. The 2023 vintage offered ideal ripening conditions, yielding Chardonnay with expressive orchard fruit and generous texture while preserving a bright, racy acidity. Aged in large neutral oak foudres and demi-muids, this wine offers a sophisticated entry point into the Lafon winemaking philosophy, delivering exceptional value, structure, and site purity.
