Domaine des Comtes Lafon Description

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.

“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

"The 2021 Meursault Clos de la Baronne delivers aromas of pear, toasted nuts and youthful reduction, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's a touch more structured than this cuvée tends to be in warmer years."-Willam Kelly

Inside Burgundy: 89-91 Points

"Exclusively sold in the USA market. The part to be bottled separately is in tank, the rest has been assembled in the Meursault. Clear pale colour with a note of reduction. A tight style but with a clear pure fruit on the palate, once the reduction has passed. Fresh white apple fruit with more weight at the back of the palate. Medium weight."-Jasper Morris, MW
