Jean-Marc Lafont and his wife Annick took over the destiny of the Domaine de Bel-Air in 1985, making highly expressive wines that are the fruit of a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. Since 1996, Jean-Marc Lafont has also been selecting wines from the Beaujolais and Mâconnaise appellations.
