Dominique Lafon Description
In 2008, Dominique Lafon, winemaker/owner of the renowned Comtes Lafon estate in Meursault, started his own Winery- and currently works approximately 4.5 hectares in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Volnay, and Beaune. Legally, the Dominque Lafon brand has négociant status but he farms all of the land the same way as he does for his family’s Domaine. Total production annually is very limited, with exceptional quality and Burgundian value.
“I didn’t wish to vinify at Domaine des Comtes Lafon as I wanted to try to keep a distinct separation between the two. With Dominique Lafon I can build on what I learn, I can afford to experiment etc. I am constantly learning. If I had to define the style of the DL wines, I would say that the wines have a bit more tension than the wines of Domaine des Comtes Lafon. The élevage on the DL wines is shorter and the plots are mostly located on the upper part of the hillsides, which gives the wines an interesting minerality and tension.” – Dominique Lafon
