The Domaine des Comtes Lafon is one of the most renowned estates in Burgundy, France. It was founded by Jules Lafon in the early 20th century. Jules Lafon was a visionary winegrower who acquired parcels of vines in the best terroirs of the Côte de Beaune. Over the years, Jules Lafon and his son, René Lafon, worked hard to develop the estate and improve the quality of their wines. They have adopted traditional viticultural practices and were among the first to implement biodynamic viticulture techniques in Burgundy.
The estate has vineyards in several prestigious appellations, including Meursault, Volnay and Montrachet. These vineyards benefit from limestone and clay soils, as well as an ideal climate for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. René Lafon's work was continued by Dominique Lafon, his son, who took over the estate in the 1980s. Dominique continued to cultivate the vines according to biodynamic principles, using natural preparations to nourish the soil and avoiding chemicals. Under Dominique Lafon's leadership, Domaine des Comtes Lafon has become a benchmark for white Burgundy wines. The wines produced by the estate are characterised by their elegance, their purity and their ability to reflect the terroir from which they are made. Today, the estate is still run by Dominique Lafon, who has been joined by his son, Gaël Lafon, in the day-to-day management. Together they continue the family tradition of producing exceptional wines that are sought after by connoisseurs around the world.
Domaine des Comtes Lafon has played a major role in the development of Burgundy wines and continues to be a benchmark for high quality white wines. Its commitment to quality, expression of terroir and environmentally friendly practices make it one of the most respected estates in the region.
