Reviews 92 points Wine Advocate "Tasted blind, Lafon's 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrieres exhibits a reserved nose of struck match, iodine and citrus oil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, taut but layered palate that's deep, tangy and concentrated but decidedly tight-knit at this stage. Some patience will be required. (WK)" 93 points Vinous "The 2015 Meursault Genevrieres 1er Cru was difficult to read in barrel but appears to have pulled through in bottle much better than the Porusots. It has a reticent bouquet despite rigorous swirling of the glass, though eventually I am able to eke out green apple, orange peel and light walnut aromas. The palate is well balanced, with good depth and plenty of freshness, and quite saline in the mouth. There is a sense of energy and brightness on the finish that is a delight. All it needs is another couple of years in bottle for the aromatics to blossom. (NM)"

About Domaine des Comtes Lafon

A pinnacle of Burgundian viticulture, Domaine des Comtes Lafon is run by the brilliant Dominique Lafon, who led the estate to international acclaim over the past four decades. Renowned for being a wine mastermind, Dominique reclaimed full control of the vineyards spread across Meursault, Volnay, Monthélie, and Puligny-Montrachet in 1984, implementing organic and biodynamic practices that have become the backbone of their extraordinary winemaking.

Comprising approximately 14 hectares, the Domaine is a celebration of biodiversity and sustainable viticulture. Their vineyards, some dating back to the late 19th century, boast old strains of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, meticulously propagated by sélection massale. A dedication to organic farming was augmented by the adoption of biodynamic principles, earning the Domaine organic certification in 1995 and biodynamic certification in 1998.

The wines of Domaine des Comtes Lafon, often hailed as some of the world's finest, are a true reflection of their terroirs, achieved through a meticulous and natural winemaking process. Yields are deliberately limited, and the harvest, conducted by hand, undergoes rigorous sorting. The Chardonnays are subjected to a cool settling of the must, and the Pinot Noirs, mostly de-stemmed, undergo a meticulous fermentation process in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks. This traditional, deliberate approach results in wines bottled unfiltered, 18 to 22 months post-harvest.

From the round and seductive to the robust and serious, the wines express a signature finesse and complexity that is unmistakably Lafon. Holding exclusive ownership over every Premier Cru in Meursault and producing some of the region's finest white wines, Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a paragon of Burgundian winemaking, offering a compelling portrait of the region's varied terroirs.
