"These are great Macons, not small Meursaults." Dominique Lafon told us as he drew a wine thief out of a Chardonnay filled barrel in his cellars a few years ago. He is referring to the wines he makes and bottles under "Les Heriteres du Comte Lafon." Dominique believed that with this label he could make interesting, beautiful wines in the Macon. Believing in the potential in the area, he searched for and found old vine Chardonnay planted in high altitude vineyards. Head winemaker Caroline Gon then takes the fruit and oversees their transformation into 'laser pure' Chardonnay.
Clos de la Crochette is a 2.6ha vineyard planted within the Chardonnay commune at about 650 feet in elevation.
