Meursault Clos de la Barre Comtes Lafon (Domaine des) 1988
The wine
Clos de la Barre is a monopole of the Domaine des Comtes Lafon. This vineyard of 2.12 hectares is located in the centre of the village of Meursault, very close to the domaine's winery. It produces a superb Meursault: rich, but with a pronounced mineral character. It will be at its peak after seven years' aging.
About the Producer Comtes Lafon
There is one domain in Meursault that stands out for both its quality and resulting worldwide reputation: Domaine des Comtes Lafon. Established at the beginning of the 19th century by a wealthy amateur called Jules Lafon, the house is today directed by his great grandson, Dominique Lafon. It uses the same family traditions and covers 13 appellations. The domain has for a long time aimed to preserve the environment in its winemaking process. It now uses biodynamics and was officially classified "organic" in 1998.
