        Reviews:

        • Wine Advocate: A limpid straw colour. The nose is quite tight and reserved at first: notes of walnut and coconut. The vanillary oak is brilliantly integrated with the fruit. Like the 1991, this wine had awesome poise, though this is far more intense, more spicy and aromatic. Harmonious and very complex. Hazelnut, almond.
        • James Suckling: What a beauty! Brilliant winemaking here. It pushes the envelope with seductive toasted hazelnut, pear, pie crust, honey and earth flavors in perfectly balanced proportions. This is what white Burgundy is all about.

        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 Côte de Beaune subregion, but has vineyards in three other villages: Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay and Monthélie. 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 René 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. Despite René's intervention, many of the lease agreements with the sharecroppers remained in place for decades. Comtes Lafon was making highly regarded whites in many vintages but without consistency.
