ABOUT THE WINE
Domaine des Comtes Lafon is widely considered to produce some of the world's greatest Chardonnay. They own and source fruit from many of the greatest cru in the region - including Charmes, Clos de la Barre and Montrachet. Now run by Dominique, the fourth-generation of the Lafon family to run the winery.
TASTING NOTES
The nose is forward and opulent with notes of citrus and smoke rounded out with ripeness and a bit of spice. The texture is structured and fresh, but there is no lack of density. Medium to full bodied, this an exemplary and superb Meursault. This iconic, village-level monopole of the domaine covers more than 2ha just behind Lafon’s house. The original vines date to the 1950s.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
Dominique pursued a policy of converting all vineyards under Comtes Lafon's stewardship over to traditional farming methods - moving first to fully organic in 1995 and on to biodynamic in 1998
