With roots tracing back to the 1860s, Domaine des Comtes Lafon is currently overseen by the fourth-generation family member Dominique Lafon. This particular cuvée hails from Les Charmes, one of the most prized Premier Cru vineyards in Meursault. The nose is characterized by flint and dried stones, resonating with vibrant aromas of lemon, lemongrass, and fennel. On the palate, the wine exhibits remarkable minerality, accompanied by piercing, crisp acidity, layers of stones, flint, and a refreshing interplay of lemon and Anjou pear, culminating in a taut, pure, and enduring finish.
Domaine des Comtes Lafon is widely considered to produce some of the world's greatest Chardonnay. Currently managed by fourth generation family member Dominique Lafon, who inherited the winery from his father René in the mid 1980s, Comtes Lafon own and source fruit from many of the greatest cru in the region - including Charmes, Clos de la Barre and Montrachet.
Dominique pursued a policy of converting all vineyards under Comtes Lafon's stewardship over to traditional farming methods - moving first to fully organic in 1995 and on to biodynamic in 1998. The average age of vines is around 40 years with yields kept low to ensure quality. Alongside his world class Chardonnay, Dominique also produces Premier Cru Volnay in limited quantities - a relatively new addition to the winery's portfolio, they are swiftly gaining a cult following.
