Dominique Lafon, the Meursault icon, founded Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon in 1999 to prove the Maconnais could make serious Chardonnay, farming biodynamically across the region. Vire-Clesse is its own appellation, known for fuller, riper, more textured whites off limestone slopes. Lafon's version balances that generosity with cut and minerality, so it drinks rich but never flabby. One of the most rewarding values in white Burgundy. Drink now or cellar a few years.

"The 2024 Viré-Clessé has a slight smoky nose that unfolds nicely in the glass, not complex though it is well defined. The palate is taut and fresh, a little nectarine and pithy pear, cohesive with a persistent finish. A lovely Viré-Clessé to enjoy over the next three to five years." —Neal Martin
