Dominique 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.

"The 2024 Saint-Véran has a straightforward lemony, white flower-tinged bouquet that just needs a little more mineralité. The palate is better with a keen thread of acidity, Clementine and tangerine notes on the mid-palate with a composed finish that has decent grip for the vintage. Enjoy over the next five years." —Neal Martin

More about Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon

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.
