The stellar reputation of this property is built on outstanding raw materials allied to great winemaking. Three generations ago, domaine founder Jules Lafon assembled significant holdings at the heart of the very best sites of Meursault and Volnay. Winemaker Dominique Lafon, following on from his innovative, technically-minded father in 1986, has built on this rich legacy, taking full control of the viticulture previously contracted out to métayers and bringing the domaine`s red wines up to the extraordinary standard of the whites. Late-harvested, low-yielding Meursault vines give dramatic, concentrated juice which is transformed, via prolonged barrel-maturation, into creamy, lees-rich wine with remarkable ageing potential. Red wine production is centred on Volnay Santenots but includes premier crus Volnaty Champans and Clos de Chênes as well as Monthelie. Both whites and reds are bottled unfiltered.
The domaine is fully organic and bio-dynamic, certified by Ecocert.
