Established in 1865, Domaine des Comtes Lafon has long stood as one of the finest white wine producers in the world. Based in Meursault, the Lafons make some of the most intensely precise and beautifully textured Burgundies. It’s no surprise that the wines are perennial favorites here at Crush.
When Dominique took over the estate in 1985 from his father René, he immediately began to return control of the vineyards to the Lafons from previous shareholder agreements and soon started to convert the vineyards to organic and biodynamic practices. Over the years, Lafon’s style has evolved from a deeper, richer, and more savory one to being laser focused, stony, and bright. Dominique’s legacy continues with his daughter, Léa, and nephew Pierre, who are now managing the estate.

Red Burgundy: Bizot, Dujac, Mugneret-Gibourg, Roumier, Rousseau & More
Below you'll find a list of nearly three dozen different red Burgundies.
The list includes plenty of Burgundy's top talent and includes back-vintages and large formats.
Lafon's whites get so much attention, especially his rare Montrachet, that most people overlook his work in Volnay. This is a shame. Along with d'Angerville and Lafarge, Lafon makes some of the top examples of the village. I included a couple of examples to drive this point home.
Champagne: Bérèche, Cedric Bouchard, Elise Bougy, Ulysse Collin, Dom Pérignon, Ledru, Pierre Peters, Savart, Suenen, & More
Today, I'm happy to offer a list covering some of my favorite Champagne producers.
