Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Meursault, 2020
Domaine des Comtes Lafon is among the most respected estates in Burgundy, known for meticulous biodynamic farming and a long-standing focus on purity and balance. Under the direction of Dominique Lafon and now his daughter Léa and nephew Pierre, the domaine has elevated its village-level wines to a standard that rivals many premier crus. Their Meursault is drawn from several parcels farmed with the same care and precision as their top sites.
This vintage opens with aromas of pear, lemon zest and a touch of almond. On the palate, the wine is generous yet composed, showing ripe fruit supported by bright acidity. A gentle savory note adds depth, and the finish is clean and persistent without feeling heavy. It’s a Meursault that reflects Lafon’s signature style — expressive, finely made and built around clarity.
Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Meursault, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Farming: Biodynamic practices
Style: White. Expressive, balanced and quietly complex
