2022 Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Monthelie Blanc Cote de Beaune, France Royal Tokaji The Verrua family--Nadia and herA 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.
