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.

Comtes Lafon
Lafarge 2010-2022
There are few wines that matter to me as much as Lafarge's.
There's something magical and totally captivating about their understated grace.
Along with d'Angerville, Lafarge stands as the long-standing benchmark of Volnay. It's important to note that while Lafarge's wines from Volnay capture many people's interest, it would be a mistake to overlook their work in Beaune.

I got carried away with this red Burgundy list.
There are nearly sixty different Burgundies included.
I won't drag out this introduction beyond a few highlights.
Along with Burgundy's most heralded producers (Dujac, Roumier, Rousseau, etc), you'll find Cecile Tremblay's 2013 Chapelle-Chambertin. It's rare that we get to offer Tremblay's wines.
White Burgundy: Bernard-Bonin, Coche-Dury, Colin-Morey, Dauvissat, Lafon, Lamy-Caillat, Leflaive, Pillot, Roulot & More
I tried to pull out all of the stops with this list.
Many of Burgundy's greats are represented below.
I included a healthy range of wines from Dauvissat, Lafon, and Leflaive. This is based in part on recent bottles from these producers that blew me away.
