Jean-Marc Lafont - Domaine de Bel-Air
All the vines, with an average age of 40 years, have been planted at a density of 9 to 10,000 vines per hectare, combined with short pruning to get the best out of the Gamay grape variety. Since 1995, the vineyards have been managed using the "lutte raisonnée" method, an environmentally-friendly technique that produces more natural wines. The terroirs are located on slopes with gradients ranging from 20 to 38%, making mechanization virtually impossible. Harvesting, also by hand, takes place over a fortnight, depending on the maturity of the terroir.
Each of Jean-Marc Lafont 's terroirs is vinified in small-capacity vats, to obtain homogeneous, typical cuvées that are blended according to their originality and structure. The only concession made to progress is temperature control, to preserve the original aromas of our terroirs.

Jean-Marc Lafont - Domaine de Bel-Air - Moulin-à-Vent Les Burdelines 2022
3*Coup de Coeur Hachette
"A cuvée from a terroir of just over 1 ha, where granitic sands and disintegrated manganese blend together. The vines here are around 50 years old. Jean-Marc Lafont has partially destemmed the grapes and mixed barrel and tank ageing. An undeniable success, this moulin-à-vent seduces with a nose that subtly combines raspberry, blackcurrant and floral notes, followed by richness on the palate, power, balance and silky tannins". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)
Jean-Marc Lafont - Domaine de Bel-Air - Fleurie Granits Roses 2023
2*Étoiles Hachette
A very fruity Fleurie with notes of morello cherry, peony and a hint of menthol. On the palate, youth expresses itself delicately, with notes of warm spices mingling with cherries and a lovely freshness. Pure indulgence!
Jean-Marc Lafont - Domaine de Bel-Air - Brouilly Briante 2022
2*Étoiles Hachette
"The Lafont family farms no less than 8 ha of this locality, located at the easternmost tip of the appellation. The grapes are partially de-stemmed before vatting, delivering a cuvée with complex notes of blackcurrant and blackberry enhanced by spices. This concentration is confirmed by an ample, structured, harmonious and long-lasting palate". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)
Jean-Marc Lafont - Morgon Côte du Py 2011
4/5 (38 reviews)
Note du Guide Hachette des Vins: 3***(Exceptional wine) + Coup de Coeur
"An exceptional Côte du Py, from a 3-hectare plot of fifty-year-old vines, harvested late (September 28) to obtain the ripest grapes possible. Behind its intense violet color lies a delicious, fine bouquet of sweet spices and black fruits. The palate is magnificent, both robust and soft, rich and long, underpinned by fine, silky tannins that give it great elegance. A Morgon of noble extraction, to be served with a capon this winter or in three years, and more. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)
