✨ Technical Specifications
Domaine des Comtes Lafon's Meursault 'D sir e' is a captivating lieu-dit white wine that showcases a unique facet of the Meursault appellation. Located on the lower slopes bordering Puligny-Montrachet, the 'D sir e' vineyard features richer, clay-dominant soils that depart from the typical limestone-heavy profile of the region. This terroir imparts a distinctively exotic, highly aromatic, and opulent character to the Chardonnay grapes grown here. Historically, this parcel has been cherished for producing a wine of immense charm and immediate appeal, filled with notes of white flowers, stone fruits, and subtle spices. Under the biodynamic stewardship of the Lafon family, the vineyard is farmed with meticulous care, and the wine is aged slowly in their legendary cold cellars, resulting in a beautifully textured, complex, and expressive Burgundy that balances rich fruit with vibrant acidity.
🍾 About the Producer
Domaine des Comtes Lafon was established in the late nineteenth century by Jules Lafon and stands as one of the most celebrated and historic wine estates in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune. Located in the village of Meursault, the domaine achieved world-renowned status under the pioneering direction of Dominique Lafon, who took over in the 1980s and transitioned the vineyards to strict biodynamic and organic farming practices. The estate is distinguished by its extraordinary collection of prestigious Premier Cru and Grand Cru holdings, most notably in Meursault (including Clos de la Barre, Charmes, Perrières, and Genevrières), Montrachet, and the red-wine terroirs of Volnay. Renowned for their precision, tension, and age-worthy complexity, Comtes Lafon's white and red expressions epitomize the pinnacle of Burgundian terroir-driven winemaking.
