Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 89-91/100
14 barrels made from 0.75ha, a comfortable return. Fifty percent whole bunch. Concentrated purple colour. A bucketload of dark raspberry fruit, but not too obviously stem infused. Excellent intensity, quite dark raspberry in style, good acidity, and fair length.Drink 2028 - 2033Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (December 2023)

About this wine

Dominique Lafon

Dominique’s decision, in 2008, to start this parallel project – separate from Domaine des Comtes Lafon – was already an interesting proposition. Now, with his daughter Léa and nephew Pierre beginning to take bigger roles at the family domaine, Dominique may have a little more time to spend on these already splendid wines. Officially, this is a négociant business, but all the fruit comes from vineyards that Dominique either owns or has the contract to farm. In the winery The cellars are rented in the old château in Bligny-lès-Beaune but the same team is used to harvest the fruit for these wines and the Comtes Lafon estate. The winemaking is just the same as well, although the élevage is shorter.
