Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon’s Saint-Véran is one of the most dependable overachievers in white Burgundy—a wine that punches far above its price point, thanks to meticulous biodynamic farming and the same cellar philosophy Lafon brings to Meursault.

The 2023 vintage is especially vivid: lemon zest, crisp pear, and white flowers, with a touch of leesy texture and a long, mineral finish that speaks to the limestone-rich soils of the region. There’s no flashy oak—just clean, focused Chardonnay with tension and grace.

This is the kind of bottle that gives you Premier Cru posture at Bourgogne Blanc pricing, perfect for pairing with seafood, roast chicken, or creamy vegetable dishes. It’s also great as an aperitif for guests who love Chablis but aren’t afraid of a little roundness.

Drink now while it’s bursting with energy, or give it a year to broaden out in bottle.

Roulot’s Meursault, Leflaive’s Puligny: for generations wine lovers have obsessed over the nuances of the Cote d’Or’s different vineyards and villages. And for the last few years, the same has been true of Champagne. We think the Macon is next.

Why the Macon? Mostly because, as we’ve said before, it’s a region of exciting and diverse terroir. Although that wasn’t clear back when production was dominated by large industrial concerns, now that some of the greatest white wine growers in the world are working there, everybody is catching on. It doesn’t hurt that the wines are much more approach-ably priced.

No one has done more to put the spotlight on the Maconais than the great Dominique Lafon. He established the domaine in 1999, and converted all of the vineyards to biodynamics over the next few years. Since 2006 his longtime apprentice Caroline Gon has been the head winemaker. She now has over a dozen vintages under her belt and the wines are better than ever.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 90

"The 2023 Saint-Véran has a winsome bouquet, very pure with lemon curd and apricot notes that blossom in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a peppery opening, fine weight and depth and a touch of Szechuan pepper on the finish. Recommended." -Neal Martin

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
