2022 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault, Burgundy, France - 1.5L MAG
ABOUT THIS WINE
Sourced from a mosaic of biodynamically farmed parcels within Meursault—including Charmes-Dessus-adjacent lieux-dits like En la Barre and Clos de la Barre—this cuvée benefits from meticulous vineyard management and low yields. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 12+ months in predominantly used oak (typically no more than 20–25% new), the 2022 vintage captures the radiance of the growing season while maintaining freshness and poise. The result is a Meursault of refined generosity, with notes of ripe citrus, white peach, almond cream, and chalky depth. The magnum format adds aging potential and breadth, making it an ideal companion to dishes like lobster in beurre blanc, roasted poulet de Bresse, or wild mushroom risotto.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Under the stewardship of Dominique Lafon from the mid-1980s to 2020, the domaine transformed into one of the region’s most respected names, pioneering biodynamic viticulture and elevating village and premier cru sites to near-grand cru status. Now under the direction of Dominique’s children and long-time team members, the estate continues its legacy of purity, precision, and respect for terroir. Known for long-lived, structured whites that balance power with finesse, Lafon wines consistently reflect both the character of the vintage and the house’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
