2022 Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Monthelie Blanc

Under the biodynamic stewardship of the Lafon family, now guided by Léa and Pierre, Domaine des Comtes Lafon cultivates its Monthelie Chardonnay with a meticulous focus on vineyard health and site expression. This Côte de Beaune appellation is characterized by varied limestone-clay soils, providing a distinct mineral framework to the resulting wine. The 2022 vintage, marked by a sunny growing season, allowed for excellent physiological ripeness in the Chardonnay while retaining a vibrant acidity due to the specific terroir and careful viticulture. This balance of conditions yielded a Monthelie Blanc demonstrating concentrated depth and a compelling mid-palate weight, presenting a harmonious structure.
