Meursault
Attending Winemaker: Dominique Lafon
Domaine des Comtes Lafon has been in the Lafon family since 1865. Dominique Lafon took over the domaine in 1983. It is comprised of approximately 14 hectares, situated in the communes of Volnay, Monthélie, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and, of course, Meursault, where the domaine and its monopole vineyard Clos de la Barre are located. In 1923, Dominique’s great-grandfather, Jules Lafon, revived the idea of the traditional Burgundian post-harvest meal and held the first Paulée de Meursault at Domaine des Comtes Lafon. Ninety years later, the tradition is still going strong. Dominique also holds land in Mâcon under the domaine name Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon. All of his vineyards are cultivated bio-dynamically. Dominique and his wines are renowned throughout the world.
