There is good punch to the delicious middle weight flavors that exude notes of salinity and rusticity on the lingering finish. This is really quite good and while it's not an elegant rendition of the genre, I like the depth and persistence. Outstanding. –Allen Meadows, Burghound\n\nAlways searching for new challenges, Dominique Lafon started his own label - separate from the family domaine - in 2008 and currently works approximately 4.5 hectares in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Volnay, and Beaune. Legally, he is considered a négociant but this is only because Dominique shares space with another winemaker. (Think of it as a custom crush facility, but in Burgundy.)\n\n0.75 hectares\nIn the village-level lieu-dit of “Les Lurets”, a cool site\n\nVolnay wine is produced in the commune of Volnay in Côte de Beaune of Burgundy, and in some vineyards in the commune of Meursault. The Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Volnay is only used for red wine with pinot noir as the main grape variety. There are no Grand Cru vineyards within Volnay, but several highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards. The AOC was created in 1937 (87 years ago).\n\nIn 2008, there were 206.7 hectares (511 acres) of vineyard surface was in production for Volnay wine at village and Premier Cru level, and 7,733 hectoliter of wine was produced, corresponding to just over 1 million bottles.\n\nThe AOC regulations also allow up to 15% total of chardonnay, pinot blanc and pinot gris as accessory grapes in the red wines, but this not very often practiced. The allowed base yield is 40 hectoliter per hectare. The grapes must reach a maturity of at least 10.5% potential alcohol for village-level wine, and 11.0% for Premier Cru wine.\n\nThe style of Volnay wine is typically light and aromatic, and elegant rather than powerful, with considerably less tannin than the Pommard wines from the neighboring village.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Producer Description:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those who love great Burgundy, this winery needs no introduction. However, for those who want to learn more about the region’s great terroirs, tasting the wines of Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a true education. Jules Lafon migrated to Burgundy’s Côte d’Or from his native Tarn-et-Garonne in the southwest of France in 1887. His marriage in 1894 to Marie Boch, the daughter of a vigneron and négociant in Meursault, marked the official beginning of the domaine. A lawyer by trade, Jules managed the domaine, increased his wife’s family’s holdings and eventually became the mayor of Meursault in 1923. As mayor, Jules reintroduced the tradition of la Paulée, Meursault’s post-harvest feast celebrated every year during the weekend of the Hospices de Beaune wine auction in late November. If you go to Meursault, you’ll find a street named for him. Three generations later, in 1984, their great-grandson Dominique took over the domaine. Dominique’s father, René, had been working in Paris and had rented out most of his vineyards to other growers under the time-honored Burgundian tradition of métayage, or share-cropping. During this time, they produced small lots of wine under the Comtes Lafon label, using the juice that came from the vignerons as rent. As these long-term contracts were gradually ending, Dominique decided to reclaim the land and bottle the wine himself—a turning point for this historic estate. By 1993, all of the family’s 13.8 hectares were back under Dominique’s control, and he began slowly converting the vineyards to organic viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapes The Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52612902814063,"sku":"17179","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4947\/2879\/files\/17179-dominique-lafon-dominique-lafon-volnay.jpg?v=1789070748"},{"product_id":"dominique-lafon-bourgogne-aligote-2022-750ml","title":"Dominique Lafon Bourgogne Aligote 2022 750ML","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n\nDominique Lafon, the renowned Meursault producer, crafts this Bourgogne Aligote from sustainable limestone vineyards near Meursault.

The appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Beaune may be used for red and white wine with respectively Pinot noir and Chardonnay as the main grape variety. The production consists of slightly over 85 percent red wine, and slightly less than 15 percent white wine. While there are no Grand cru vineyards within Beaune, there are several well-known and highly regarded Premier cru vineyards, including some that are owned by the large négociant houses in Beaune and produce some of their \"flagship\" wines at the Premier cru level. The AOC was created in 1936.\n\nIn 2008, there was 411.7 hectares (1,017 acres) of vineyard surface in production for Beaune wine at village and Premier cru level, making Beaune the largest village-named appellation of the Côte d'Or, just ahead of Gevrey-Chambertin AOC in vineyard size. A total of 15,652 hectoliters of wine were produced in 2008, of which 13,319 hectoliters were red wine and 2,333 hectoliters white wine. Some 357.06 hectares (882.3 acres) of this area was used for the red wines in 2007. The total amount produced corresponds to almost 2.1 million bottles, which included almost 1.8 million bottles of red wine and a little over 300,000 bottles of white wine.\n\nFor white wines, the AOC regulations allow both Chardonnay and Pinot blanc to be used, but most wines are 100% Chardonnay. The AOC regulations also allow up to 15 percent total of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Pinot gris as accessory grapes in the red wines, but this is not practiced very often. The allowed base yield is 40 hectoliters per hectare of red wine and 45 hectoliters per hectare for white wine. The grapes must reach a maturity of at least 10.5 percent potential alcohol for village-level red wine, 11.0 percent for village-level white wine and Premier Cru red wine, and 11.5 percent for Premier cru white wine.\n\nBeaune is also the center of the Burgundy wine business, with most of the largest négociants located in the town, as well as the Hospices de Beaune , which annually holds a charity wine auction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Producer Description:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\nA Pinot Noir with Dark Fruit and Savory Touch\n\nBurgundy winemaker Dominique Lafon created his eponymous label in 2008, paving a path separate from his family's label (Domaine des Comtes Lafon). His aim was to experiment with the vines of Beaune and other appellations, and eventually to produce a new style. Lafon now cultivates around 4.5 hectares of vines in the appellations of Meursault, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet and Beaune. The wines are vinified, aged and bottled at Chateau de Bligny. Dominique Lafon wines reveal a great tension in the mouth, paired with an elegant minerality, which results from the high altitudes at which the vines are grown. The Beaune Premier Cru \"Vignes Franches\"  from Domaine Lafon is a 100% Pinot Noir wine made from fruit from the Beaune Premier Cru vineyard \"Vignes Franches,\" whose name (\"free vines\") refers to the fact that historically Beaune landowners did not have to pay tax on their land. The vines are planted in clay soils scattered with small pebbles, making for excellent drainage. The wines were vinified with a very light extraction to showcase the perfect health and natural beauty of the grapes.\n\nMillesima\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dominique Lafon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52612974674287,"sku":"3161","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4947\/2879\/files\/3161-dominique-lafon-beaune-vignes-franches_1.jpg?v=1789070598"},{"product_id":"dominique-lafon-beaune-vignes-franches-2019-750ml","title":"Dominique Lafon Beaune Vignes Franches 2019 750ML","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n\nBeaune wine is produced in the commune of Beaune in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy .
