2017 Late Releases

A monopole of Comtes Lafon, this vineyard sits in the heart of the village of Meursault, behind the family’s house. This is spicy yet focussed, with incredible clarity to the fruit. Lovely texture here.

Lying towards the north of Meursault’s clutch of premiers crus, Porusots has a slightly leaner quality than vineyards like Charmes or Perrières. All about finesse, there are delicate floral notes and amazing fragrance.

Perrières has long been held in high regard, in some estimations being placed behind only Le Montrachet itself in the pantheon of Chardonnay vineyards. Its stony soil (it was formerly the site of a quarry) and perfect south-east exposure produces wines of wonderful concentration and power. Grand Cru quality.

A third of a hectare, mainly planted in 1953, this is an incredible wine. Such a rarity, a thrill to try.

One of Meursault’s great vineyards, Charmes’ wines are generous and approachable, noted for their rich fruit. But in 2017 that’s beautifully balanced with extra focus: an incredible Charmes this year.

A vineyard situated politically in Meursault, but labelled as Volnay when it produces red wines. Santenots du Milieu indicates the finest part of the larger Santenots vineyard, of which Comtes Lafon own nearly half, and this is simply brilliant. Such an elegant Volnay, with floral notes and beautiful acidity.
