Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a wine estate in Burgundy that extends over just over 16 hectares in Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet for white wines and Volnay and Monthélie for red wines.
The Domaine produces wines from 15 appellations, including the famous Meursault Charmes, Meursault Perrières and Montrachet crus from vines with an average age of more than 30 years. Since 1992, the Domaine des Comtes Lafon has banned weeding and systematically ploughs its vines. It has been certified organic (A.B.) since the 1998 vintage and has also been using the principles of biodynamics throughout the vineyard since then. No fertilizers are used on the estate, only natural compost.
The Domaine des Comtes Lafon was founded at the end of the 19th century when Jules Lafon, originally from Tarn-et-Garonne, married Marie Boch, whose family owned a vineyard in Meursault. While the estate was almost entirely farmed as sharecropping at the end of the war, it was their grandson Pierre who really gave it a new impetus from 1956 onwards with the restoration of the vines and numerous replantings. The proportion of the harvest bottled at the estate is growing rapidly. His son Dominique succeeded him in 1984 and gave up sharecropping completely in 1993, the year in which the entire vineyard was now farmed by the Domaine.
Dominique Lafon, who has been running the family estate since the mid-1980s, is unquestionably one of the greatest winemakers in the Côte-de-Beaune. He is now assisted by his daughter Léa and his nephew Pierre.
