Away from the typical ripe and honeyed chardonnays of Viré-Clessé, Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon Viré-Clessé 2022 is a vibrant and fruity white Burgundy born from sixty-year-old vineyards, where the harvest was brought forward to avoid over-ripening of the grapes and to capture the crispest, juiciest, and freshest chardonnay in the bottle.
