Domaine des Comtes Lafon - Meursault 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.

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. 

A blend of three parcels: En La Barre 0.61 hectares planted in 1953 and 1956 next to Clos de la Barre Produces richer wines En Luraule 0.45 hectares planted in 1975, purchased by the domaine in 1996 Located next to Goutte d'Or Produces very little wine but of extreme minerality and tension Biodynamic farming has done wonders in rehabilitating the vineyard health Les Crotots 0.17 hectares acquired in 2004, started to go into the Meursault cuvée in 2009 upon the expiration of its preexisting lease to another winemaker.

"The 2023 Meursault Village includes the young vines from Charmes and Perrières this year. Offering up aromas of pear, peach, white flowers and hazelnuts, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy, with a saline finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
