STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Dominique Lafon and his partner and collaborator Olivier Merlin, owners of the eponymous estates, two strong and essential names in the region, have acquired an exceptional property. This prestigious architectural complex, set in magnificent grounds, is located in the heart of the vineyards; 2.5 hectares benefiting from full eastern exposure, on very poor, limestone and stony soil, which produces an exceptional cuvée in the Mâconnais, always impeccably consistent. Not to be missed.
