Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2007 Les Perrières Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
Very mineral in character, from this most structured of Meursault vineyards, this is a firm wine, tense in style, with great freshness. It is taut, a wine treading a high wire between richness and fine structure. For aging.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2004 Les Perrières Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)
- $156
Like many wines from Lafon, this is initially deceptive. It bursts open in the mouth, like a fruit bomb. But watch for the structure as well, because this is a wine that will age. Keep for at least 5 years.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2008 Les Genevrières Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
With its smoky wood, complex spice and yellow fruit flavors, this is already hinting at its gorgeous, ripe character. It needs time, at least 3–4 years, for its full potential to develop, but this is impressive.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2008 Clos des Chênes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
Already a beautifully balanced wine, with firm tannin, ripe cherry fruits and a fine, elegant structure. A plush feel is just beginning to develop, showing through the tight, closed youthful texture.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2004 Charmes Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)
A structured wine that is going to need 4 or 5 years to really open up. Already there is power and intense green-fruit flavors, but at the moment new-wood flavors are dominant. Don’t drink now.

Rounded wine, the fruit soft and open, contrasting with an elegant texture. There is a light minerality over yellow fruits, spice and vanilla flavor. Age for another year or two.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2007 Clos des Chênes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
Rich, soft and gentle, with light tannins, ripe fruit and a pronounced freshness, touched with black cherry. This is not for long-term aging, but it’s worth waiting for 2–3 years.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2007 Santenots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
Full of fruit, this rich wine packs plums and cherries into a style that is sumptuous, with great ripeness. The tannins are soft, sweet and roll well into the rounded structure.
