Dominique Lafon Description
In 2008, Dominique Lafon, winemaker/owner of the renowned Comtes Lafon estate in Meusault, started his own eponymous label - and currently works approximately 4.5 hectares in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Volnay, and Beaune. Legally, the Dominique Lafon brand has négociant status but it is operated like a small domaine and Dominique rarely buys grapes. Total production annually is only 400 cases. Exceptional quality and value here, especially the Meursault-like Bourgogne Blanc!
The vineyards are farmed with the same principles of organics and biodynamics as Comte Lafon and are vinified with the same care and attention to quality that spurred Dominique’s reputation in the region and around the world.

" Oustanding! * This is also quite fresh and notably ripe with notes of blue and black berry, violets and warm earth hints that transfer over to the detailed and lightly mineral-suffused medium-weight flavors that possess good dry extract and a vibrant, focused, balanced and lingering finish. A lovely villages."
