Description
Domaine des Comtes Lafon is based in Meursault, where it has holdings in each of the finest Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in Meursault. They have a reputation for maintaining the signature character of each site in their wines. They don’t rest on their laurels, though, their red wines from their Volnay Premiers Crus are increasingly popular and should not be overlooked.
Domaine des Comtes Lafon have been certified as organic since 1995, and although biodynamic principles have been used since ‘98, they have not sought to become Demeter certified – citing “too much paperwork” as the main reason. The two newer businesses in the family portfolio are also organic, and when new vineyards are acquired, each is converted as soon as possible thereafter.
Tasting notes
“The 2022 Saint-Véran offers tantalizing glimpses of sea spray on the nose, simple but charming. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, orange rind and light apricot notes, gaining weight towards the finish that has commendable persistence and weight. Punches above its weight.”
