Lot presentation

Meursault 1er Cru Perrières Comtes Lafon (Domaine des) 1996

The wine

Notes of honey, cedar, acacia flowers and hazelnuts characterise the domaine's Meursault Premier Cru Perrières. A complex wine with great harmony. It is one of the commune's most prized Premier Cru wines, thanks in particular to Coche-Dury. Drinkers should wait at least 10 years before enjoying a Meursault Perrières from Les Comtes Lafon.

About the Producer Comtes Lafon

There is one domain in Meursault that stands out for both its quality and resulting worldwide reputation: Domaine des Comtes Lafon. Established at the beginning of the 19th century by a wealthy amateur called Jules Lafon, the house is today directed by his great grandson, Dominique Lafon. It uses the same family traditions and covers 13 appellations. The domain has for a long time aimed to preserve the environment in its winemaking process. It now uses biodynamics and was officially classified "organic" in 1998.
