Domaine des Comtes Lafon

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 (incl. those from Volnay , Monthélie) are first class as well.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Pinot Noir, For laying down, Organic (Certified), Biodynamic (Not certified/in conversion), Cork Closure, 13% alc. As it always is, this is a notable step up in every sense with much more serious and deeply pitched aromas of earthy and spiced red pinot fruit that precedes admirably rich medium-bodied flavors that offer good volume and punch. This is also much more primary and less evolved with fine length and depth. (Alen Meadows, Burghound.com -Apr 08) MORE

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Pinot Noir, For laying down, Organic (Certified), Biodynamic (Not certified/in conversion), Cork Closure, 13.5% alc. Comte Lafon's Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu is a wine of refinement and class as the rich, full and sweet flavours offer lovely detail and a subtle minerality on the punchy, deep and long finish supported by relatively light but sophisticated tannins. I really like the balance here and this moderately fruit-driven effort should reward mid-term cellaring. (90-92 points, Alen Meadows - Burghound.com - Apr 08) MORE Drink: 2013 -2020 .
