Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault "Clos de la Baronne" 2023
(Cote de Beaune, Burgundy, France) - [TA 92] [WA 90]

About the Winery:
Domaine des Comtes Lafon has been in the Lafon family since 1865. Dominique Lafon took over the domaine in 1985. It is comprised of approximately 14 hectares situated in the communes of Volnay, Monthélie, Chassagne-Montrachet, and of course, Meursault, where the domaine and its monopole vineyard Clos de la Barre are located.

All the vineyards are cultivated biodynamically and they proudly own every Premier Cru in Meursault. Dominique retired at the end of 2021, handing over the reigns to his daughter, Léa and nephew, Pierre, who as part of the fifth generation of winemakers in the Lafon family, will continue this domaine’s superstar reputation not only in Burgundy but throughout the world. Dominique does, however, remain active as an advisor.

About this Wine:
2012 was the first vintage that the Clos de la Baronne had been bottled as a single parcel. The bottling is sourced from the 2.7ha Clos de la Baronne, a monopole of on average 40-year-old vines.

Ratings & Reviews

92 Points - Tim Atkin, MW

90 Points - Wine Advocate:
"As usual, the 2023 Meursault Clos de la Baronne is the softest, roundest wine in the cellar, offering up notes of honeyed pears and flowers followed by a broad, medium to full-bodied palate. – William Kelley (Jan 2025)
