Domaine des Comtes Lafon has
the deepest and coldest cellars in Burgundy and they nurture some of the
greatest dry white wines of Burgundy. Dominique Lafon is the leading
producer in Meursault, producing wines of astonishing depth and
complexity, yet supremely balanced as well. When Lafon took over the domaine in
1983, most of his vineyards were leased out on a share-cropping basis. It was
only towards the end of the 80s that he managed to reclaim all the vineyards
and thus have full responsibility for them. Nowadays the vineyards are run on a
biodynamic basis with no use of herbicides or chemical sprays. All the wines
are barrel-fermented, using new oak for the 1er Crus upwards. There is only one
racking after the malolactic and the wines are bottled nearly two years after
the vintage, one of the latest bottlings in Burgundy. This is the very pinnacle
of White Burgundy with superlative fruit, power, complexity and total harmony
being the wines` hallmarks. The reds are first class as well.
