"more than just a domain, however famous it may be, it is an important part of the modern history of winegrowing burgundy that we are privileged to share with you today, thanks to this exceptional sale of the wines of domaine des comtes lafon. a must for any lover of great whites, this iconic property in meursault is one of the few names that have definitely made us want to embark on this route des blancs with you for nearly 7 years... the domaine des comtes lafon covers a little over 16 hectares planted with chardonnay in the villages of meursault and chassagne montrachet, and pinot noir in the villages of volnay and monthélie. managed by dominique lafon, the comtes lafon estate has been biodynamic for over 15 years. the white and red wines are aged between 18 and 22 months and fined before bottling. the reds are aged in 30% new oak. domaine lafon has only one parcel in the grand cru category, but the most prestigious of all: the grand cru montrachet. on the other hand, it has a quantity of meursault (including clos de la barre) with a majority of meursault premiers crus: meursault charmes 1er cru, meursault goutte d'or 1er cru, meursault porusots 1er cru, meursault bouchères 1er cru, meursault genevrières 1er cru, meursault perrières 1er cru. the volnay wines are also particularly qualitative with the volnay 1er cru champans, volnay 1er cru clos des chênes and volnay 1er cru santenots du milieu. tasted blind, the 2015 volnay 1er cru les santenots-du-milieu offers up a deep bouquet of red-black cherries, spices, potpourri, espresso roast and subtle grilled meat. full-bodied, ample and sappy on the palate, it's rich but vibrant, with fine-grained structuring tannins that are beginning to assert themselves on the finish. having drunk several bottles of this wine since release, the extent to which it's shutting down is clearly apparent, and at this stage, patience will be required."
