Cigar spice and a touch of orange come through on a sprightly finish

All from the Felsterrasse hillside with incredibly sleep terraced vineyards

The Verrua family--Nadia and her mother Maria Teresa and her father Ottavio--farms the vines organically

with slightly present tannins which still need to be integrated

2022 Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Monthelie Blanc Cote de Beaune, France Royal Tokaji Cigar spice and a touchA tiny 0. 15 hectare parcel, the Monthelie Blanc was planted in 1996 just above the Monthelie les Duresses. Due to the severe (28%) slope, the vineyard is worked by horse and by hand. At first, the wine was only consumed at the domaine during harvest but it is now released in tiny quantities.
