DES COMTES LAFON

Dominique Lafon is considered one of Burgundy’s finest winemakers, crafting some of the most celebrated Burgundies. He has two estates to his name;
- Meursault-based – Domaine des Comtes Lafon
- Milly-Lamartine – Héritieres du Comte Lafon
‍
Shrewd vineyard purchase by the previous Lafons as far back as in 1894, including the prized piece of the grand cru Le Montrachet, means that today Dominique has holdings in all six of the finest premier crus in Meursault and four in Volnay – all of which are farmed biodynamically.

In 1999 Dominique turned his attention south of the Mâconnais. He is convinced, and still does that some of Burgundy’s finest and most nuanced terroirs are found here. Starting out with 14 hectares of Chardonnay vineyards in the hills around Milly-Lamartine. He has subsequently expanded to cover 26 hectares of biodynamic-farmed acquiring parcels in Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé.

Dominique Lafon retired at the end of 2021. Paving way and succeeded by his daughter Léa and nephew Pierre.
