Merchant's description

Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a leading wine producer based in Meursault, where it has holdings in some of the most prestigious vineyards. The estate is currently led by fourth-generation family member Dominique Lafon, who inherited the winery from his father René in the mid-1980s. This bottle comes from the Premier Cru of Santenots du Milieu in the Volnay commune of the Côte de Beaune. Renowned for its perfumed and smooth-yet-structured Pinot Noirs, Volnay is located between Pommard and Meursault in the Côte de Beaune. Les Santenots is one of the most highly regarded 1er Cru’s within the appellation, in which Comtes Lafon owns a substantial 4ha of vines. This vintage offers a complex interplay of red berry fruit, earthiness, and subtle spice, revealing the varietal`s character while reflecting the vintage`s maturation. A worthy exploration for serious collectors.
