Domaine des Comtes Lafon - Puligny-Montrachet 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.

Puligny-Montrachet is made from 100% Chardonnay, sourced from parcels in Les Champs Croyons. The vines are pruned using the Guyot Poussard method. Vinification involves aging in barrels for 8 to 10 months, with 15% new oak. This meticulous process results in a wine that showcases the elegance and complexity typical of Puligny-Montrachet.

"Another small new cuvée for Lafon is the 2023 Puligny-Montrachet, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless white redolent of peach, pear, freshly baked bread and white flowers. With good energy and precision, it's a very pretty wine in the making." - 91 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
