Domaine des Comtes Lafon - Meursault 1er Cru 'Charmes' 2023

Domaine des Comtes Lafon has been in the Lafon family since 1865. Dominique Lafon took over the domaine in 1985. It is comprised of approximately 14 hectares situated in the communes of Volnay, Monthélie, Chassagne-Montrachet, and of course, Meursault, where the domaine and its monopole vineyard Clos de la Barre are located. 

“There are few growers anywhere in the world more committed to improving his vineyards with the aim of making ever better wine than Dominique Lafon. He tirelessly questions his and others’ methods, always looking to improve.” — Daniel Johnnes

All the vineyards are cultivated biodynamically and they proudly own every Premier Cru in Meursault. Dominique retired at the end of 2021, handing over the reigns to his daughter, Léa and nephew, Pierre, who as part of the fifth generation of winemakers in the Lafon family, will continue this domaine’s superstar reputation not only in Burgundy but throughout the world.

"Aromas of pear and orange oil mingled with hints of honeycomb and freshly baked bread introduce the 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless wine that's deep and layered, with a cool, impeccably balanced profile and a long, saline finish." - 94 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
