Producer Information

Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a wine producer in Burgundy making some of the most lauded (and highly priced) white wines from Chardonnay in the region. It is located in Meursault in the Cte de Beaune subregion, but has vineyards in three other villages: Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay and Monthlie. Comtes Lafon’s house and cellar were built in 1869 by the Boch family, but its reputation as a winery was most heavily influenced by Jules Lafon, who married Marie Boch in 1894. Lafon bought many of the significant premier cru plots in Meursault and Volnay, and in 1919, parcels in the grand cru Le Montrachet vineyard. Domaine des Comtes Lafon saw an extended period of sharecropping after Jules Lafon’s death and the future of the estate became uncertain. It was Jules’ grandson Ren Lafon who took an interest in the winery and fought to stop the division of the vineyards a move that secured the future of the domaine.
