“Richness, power, and balance!”

“A wine from the Les Burdelines vineyard, for which the grapes were partially destemmed prior to vinification and aged for 8 months in barrels. The result is a remarkable Moulin-à-Vent, a well-rounded wine that immediately captivates with its great aromatic complexity and silky texture. Opening up gradually, it evokes blond tobacco, licorice, red fruits, and spices. Its charm also shines through on the palate with a persistent, structured, and balanced body. An undeniable success.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

About the wine:

A wine from the Les Burdelines vineyard, for which the grapes were partially destemmed prior to vinification and aged for 8 months in barrels. The result is a remarkable Moulin-à-Vent, a well-rounded wine that immediately captivates with its great aromatic complexity and silky texture. Opening up gradually, it evokes notes of blond tobacco, licorice, red berries, and spices. Its charm continues on the palate with a persistent, structured, and balanced body. An undeniable success.

About the estate:

Owned by the Lafont family for several generations, this estate perched on the Bel-Air hill overlooks the Ardières Valley: blue granite buildings constructed in 1849, vaulted cellars, and a 23-hectare vineyard with plots across five crus. At the helm since 1985, Jean-Marc Lafont has established a wine merchant business under his name to complement his portfolio.
