Lot presentation
Meursault Désirée Comtes Lafon (Domaine des) 2018
The wine
The name "Désiré" comes from an official name which ceased to be used in 1973. As the name has a much longer history with Comtes Lafon, the domaine is authorised to continue to label its wine with the name. It is a superb Meursault; the most accessible in the whole range. Unlike the domaine's other wines, there is no need to wait ten years before drinking. It is immediately attractive, with beautiful substance; tender and well balanced.
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.
