Domaine Des Comtes Lafon

Dominique Lafon

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2021

Despite being ‚just‘ a Bourgogne this is excellent although at 43$ not cheap for a Bourgogne. No formal notes but trust me this is excellent. It’s a 1er Cru level wine at a very reasonable price point. Grapes are from Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Whole cluster pressed. So the wine is complex. Great texture! — 4 months ago

Clos de la Crochette Mâcon Village Chardonnay 2021

Always a classic. Still a (relative) value. Balance, structure, texture, tension, integration and length. Just great winemaking. Benchmark Chard. — 8 months ago

Désirée Meursault Chardonnay 2014

Grand Finale bottle with Madi in NYC. Had high hopes for throttle given the vintage but didn’t really have the fruit for it to hold up. Searing acid and nuclear reduction which I love but just savory notes. — 8 months ago

Volnay-Champans 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1990

Reddish black cherry color. Slightly translucent. Doesn't show its age in the glass. Nose of warm fruit with kirsch, with some secondary dirt and spice notes. In the mouth there wonderful rich coating of ripe black cherry, some wood, and still active tannin. Well balanced. Lasting finish. Great showing. Still on the upswing of its potential. — 8 years ago

Volnay Pinot Noir 2018

Very cherry. Black dark cherries. Nice wine. Touch blackberry. Polished and well made. Quite tannic give it 2-3 more years .Well done but overpriced. I think it lacks character. Just not unique enough for me - more a middle of the road Burgh. — 4 months ago

Meursault-Perrières 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

gorgeous soft lemon oil and chalkiness. Quite intense and with a real minerality and white pepper. Very pretty fruit but quite angular and will develop a long way from here. — 8 months ago
