Originally established in 1869, Domaine des Comtes Lafon is one of the most famous names in Meursault, currently led by fourth generation family member Dominique Lafon. The domaine was one of the first to be converted to biodynamic farming during the 1990s. This particular cuvée is sourced from their 0.91-hectare plot in ‘Les Perrièrres’, one of the most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards in Meursault. The 2002 vintage rightfully holds a special place in the hearts of Burgundy enthusiasts. It is easy to see why, with the enticing presence of pure, delicate forest fruit and strawberry notes in the finest red wines, complemented by the invigorating mineral qualities that define the great white wines.

Chardonnay

92 Vinous

Full medium yellow. Very ripe yellow fruits, musky acacia flower and minerals on the nose; smells rich! Quite full in the mouth, offering a silky texture to its flavors of ripe yellow fruits and nuts. A distinctly fat style in the context of this vintage, this big boy finishes slightly aggressive but not oxidative or dry. Lafon told me he picked this vintage of Perrières later than he would nowadays. Today I'm looking for freshness and tension, he explained. This is more of a classic old-style, round, buttery Comtes Lafon Meursault. In contrast to the 2003, this bottle struck me as less impressive than it had been in the early going, when it showed more minerality and zestier fruit. (13.5% alcohol; 41 h/h; 3.7 g/l acidity; 3.31 pH)

Domaine des Comtes Lafon

A Singular Vision

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.
