2022 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Puligny-Montrachet

Domaine des Comtes Lafon has been biodynamic since the 1990s, a practice that Dominique believes enhances the transparency of the terroir. This wine is fermented and aged with meticulous care, resulting in a Chardonnay that is vibrantly alive, offering a crystalline purity of fruit that will evolve beautifully over the next 10 to 15 years.

The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is widely celebrated for its harmonious balance of ripeness and freshness. After a series of low-yielding years, 2022 produced fruit of exceptional quality with a classic structural profile. This Puligny-Montrachet embodies the appellation's signature "steely" elegance—it is lean, focused, and intensely mineral.
