Domaine des Comtes Lafon began in 1869 with vines in some of the best plots in Mersualt, Volnay and Le Montrachet. This family estate has been run by Dominique Lafon since 1985. He ended share cropping, key to their surging quality, with some of the best white and great red wine. Their cellars are the deepest in Burgundy.

(12x75cl) 2022Burghound (89)
(mostly from Prissé). This is the first wine to display even subtle wood influence on the smoky white orchard fruit and more discreet citrus-infused nose. There is more volume if perhaps slightly less delineation to the medium-bodied flavors that possess first-rate balance on the clean, long and more complex finale. Fine quality here.Inc. TAX€747.50 -
(6x150cl) 2016Wine Advocate (90)
The 2016 Viré-Clessé wafts from the glass with notes of musky peach and dried white flowers, framed by sublet reduction. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, tense and racy, with good depth at the core and an attractive sense of completeness. It will need some time in the cellar to unwind after bottling, but it's an elegant, vibrant interpretation of the appellation that ranks as one of Lafon's best cuvées this year.Inc. TAX€512.84 -
(12x75cl) 2022Burghound (90)
A more restrained nose is comprised by aromas of white peach, citrus confit and acacia blossom. There is excellent density to the succulent and saliva-inducing middle weight flavors that possess an appealing underlying tension while exhibiting a lovely salinity on the solidly persistent, youthfully austere and satisfying complex finish. This too offers fine quality.Inc. TAX€747.50 -

(12x75cl) 2021Vinous (88)
The 2021 Mâcon-Bussières, a blend of different parcels, has a strict and more focused nose compared to the other cuvées. Airy with Granny Smiths and pear. The palate is well balanced with a tangy, marmalade and pear-tinged opening, spicy, almost Rhône-like towards the finish with plenty of extract. Very fine.Inc. TAX€446.22
