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.

A pretty and expressive nose of dark berry fruit and subtle earth aromas lead to round, rich, fresh, sweet and delicious flavors that are forward, supple and balanced. This isn't overly serious but it's impossible not to like for its fruit and generosity.

Aromatic depth with slightly more elegance ... the red berry fruit is trimmed in a discreet touch of wood that introduces slightly more concentrated, delicious and rich flavours. The finish has both freshness and verve. Rich, classy and while it's not really a true villages, classy for what this is declared as.

This is more backward than the Champans above. It has a high-class nose which is ripe, but not blowsy, with dense red, rather than black, fruits. It is very intense right across the palate – a wine for the long term. MORE

This wine possesses a glorious purple colour and fine, classy fruit on the nose which has a real intensity of red and black cherry aromas. The extraordinary finesse continues on the palate – it is ripe but never heavy. A very fine wine. MORE

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.

This has a clear, bright and deep colour for the vintage. The fruit on the palate also combines clarity with depth of flavour, mostly red fruit with a touch of black. Very good oak integration and above all a delightful finish.

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.

Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Chardonnay, Ready, but will keep, Organic (Certified), Biodynamic (Not certified/in conversion), Cork Closure, 13.5% alc.

Rich, satisfying Meursault which nonetheless exudes the elegance that is the Lafon hallmark. The younger vines from several Premier Cru vineyards have been included to add to the class. This complex wine boasts sumptuous layers of rich fruit, subtle undertones of oak and great depth. Full, rich and concentrated, everything is in perfect balance leading to a wonderfully long finish.
