Comte Lafont, known as ``Meursault specialist''
Comte Lafont is a producer known as a ``Meursault specialist'' due to its constantly evolving grape cultivation, brewing techniques, and wine quality. The history of the Domaine begins with the first Mr. Jules Lafon, then through the second generation Pierre Lafon, Mr. Henri Lafon, and the third generation René Lafon, and its reputation has become immovable.


Mr. Dominique Lafon, the fourth generation of the company, has not only changed the old methods that had been biased towards winemaking techniques and adopted modern brewing methods, but also said, ``Winemaking starts from the fields'', and he has been focusing on grapes, the origin of winemaking. I returned to cultivation.



He succeeded in obtaining high-quality grapes by implementing biodynamic practices, planting a low tree planting rate of one tree per square meter, and strictly limiting fruit yield by suppressing germination. With the excellent wines produced in this way, Mr. Dominique has greatly increased the value of the domaine to a unique existence. It is no exaggeration to say that winemaking served as a guide for Meursault's makers, and its accomplishments increased the reputation of Meursault as a whole.



Recently, Dominique's eldest daughter Léa has been participating in the domaine since 2019, and her nephew Pierre has been participating in the domaine since 2020. In order to support the domaine in the future, we are making wine together with Mr. Dominique.
