Domaine des Comtes Lafon

The stellar reputation of this property is built on outstanding raw materials allied to great winemaking. Three generations ago, domaine founder Jules Lafon assembled significant holdings at the heart of the very best sites of Meursault and Volnay. Winemaker Dominique Lafon, following on from his innovative, technically-minded father in 1986, has built on this rich legacy, taking complete control of the viticulture previously contracted out to métayers and bringing the domaine’s red wines up to the extraordinary standard the whites. Late-harvested, low-yielding Meursault vines give dramatic, concentrated juice, which is transformed, via prolonged barrel-maturation, into creamy, lees-rich wine with remarkable ageing potential.
