Premier Cru

Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Estate

Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a renowned wine estate located in Meursault, Burgundy, France. Founded in 1894 by Jules Lafon, it has been under the stewardship of Dominique Lafon since 1984. The domaine is particularly famous for its white wines, especially its Meursault and Montrachet Grand Cru. It manages about 14 hectares of vineyards, including some of the most prestigious plots in Meursault.

Heat Tests Burgundy's Core

Record summer temperatures forced historically early picking, but Champans' east-facing slope and clay-limestone soils helped preserve acidity. Strategic canopy management protected fruit during the intense August heat. The wine balances Volnay elegance with ripe cherry, spice, and mineral notes framed by refined structure.

Frost Impacts Yields

April frost severely reduced yields in this iron-rich premier cru site, though careful canopy management helped protect against further weather challenges. Late season warmth proved crucial for achieving phenolic ripeness in the surviving fruit. The wine reflects both the vintage's freshness and the site's natural concentration, showing red fruits, spice, and Champans' characteristic ferrous minerality.
