While the legendary Domaine Comtes Lafon often steals the spotlight, the Lafon family has been doing exceptional work in the under-appreciated region of Mâconnais in the southern part of Burgundy for more than 20 years.
During the 1970s and ‘80s the area was most famous for producing ‘white Burgundy’ in bulk at unsustainably low prices. However, when Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon was established in 1999 by Dominique Lafon, the area completely changed and began to value hands-on work in the vineyards and making wine with a deeper understanding and respect for the terroir.
Dominique’s daughter Léa and nephew Pierre are the new faces of the domaine, and we are incredibly happy to be working with such an amazing family who are creating a change for the better.

Maxime was 20 years old when he was left in charge of the famed Domaine Georges Noëllat in Vosne-Romanée. This was in 2010, and now, more than a decade later, he has achieved an almost cult-like status for his wines and is still one of Burgundy’s most revered winemakers.
Based in the small village of Priocca, home to vineyards and hazelnut trees, Bricco Ernesto aka. Renato Vezza is making tiny amounts of great wines from his grandfather’s vineyards. Back in the day “Ernesto “ refused to sell the vineyards because he wanted to leave them to his grandson, which is why the wine is called Bricco Ernesto.
Camille is a shooting star in Burgundy! She works alongside her partner, Canadian-born Matt Chittick, who she met while they were both working at the Domaine de Bellene in Beaune. Camille started her project in 2016 in a 20m2 garage without electricity but has quickly become one of the most prominent young winemakers in Burgundy.
