Comtes Lafon

Domaine des Comtes Lafon was established in 1869 by the Boch family and has remained in their care ever since. When fourth-generation Dominique Lafon took charge in 1985, Domaine des Comtes Lafon already had a reputation for unconventional yet outstanding white wines. At the time, most of the vineyards were leased out to sharecroppers; but by 1993, Dominique had reclaimed all of his family’s vineyards and assumed full control of the domaine. 

Not only are the Lafons’ 15 individual vineyards located in the best appellations in Meursault and Volnay, but they tend to be very well situated within them, and are now cultivated according to organic and biodynamic principles. The average age of the vines is maintained at around 40 years, and yields are kept low at about 35 hectolitres per hectare.
