✨ Technical Specifications
The Assortment Case from Domaine des Comtes Lafon represents the ultimate horizontal exploration of one of Burgundy's most legendary estates. Rather than a single bottling, this highly coveted collection is curated to showcase the diverse climats and extraordinary terroir variation of Meursault and the surrounding Côte de Beaune within a single vintage. Under the historic cellars of Clos de la Barre, these wines undergo a slow, cold maturation that preserves their vibrant acidity and imparts profound structural complexity. An assortment case typically brings together the estate's celebrated Premier Crus—such as the intensely mineral Perrières, the opulent Charmes, and the remarkably elegant Genevrières—alongside their benchmark village Meursault and structured Volnay reds. It serves as a masterclass in biodynamic viticulture and terroir expression, highly prized by collectors worldwide.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1869 by the Boch family and formally developed by Comte Jules Lafon following his marriage to Marie Boch in 1894, Domaine des Comtes Lafon is an undisputed benchmark of Meursault. In the mid-1980s, fourth-generation vigneron Dominique Lafon reclaimed historical family parcels from sharecroppers, pioneering a conversion to certified organic viticulture in 1995 and full biodynamics by 1998. Today, the 16.3-hectare Côte de Beaune estate is directed by the fifth generation, Léa and Pierre Lafon. The domaine boasts exceptional holdings across premier crus—including Genevrières, Perrières, and Charmes—alongside the monopole Clos de la Barre, prime red terroirs in Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu, and a cherished parcel of Grand Cru Le Montrachet acquired in 1919. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in modest proportions of new French oak in cold, deep cellars, Lafon's Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs achieve crystalline terroir expression, textural breadth, and profound ageability.
