Histoire du domaine
The company Dominique Lafon was established in 2007, and Dominique Lafon launched his personal venture under his own name in 2008, separate from the Domaine des Comtes Lafon de Meursault. The project was initially based on cultivation leases and a wine trading business in the Côte de Beaune, notably for plots in Meursault Narvaux, Puligny-Montrachet Champ Gain, Volnay Les Lurets and Beaune Les Epenottes. In 2011, Dominique Lafon acquired two plots intended for white Burgundy: Les Grandes Coutures in Meursault and Les Femelottes in Puligny-Montrachet. Originally based in Meursault, the estate moved its winemaking, ageing and bottling operations to Château de Bligny in 2015. This shared facility also accommodates other small producers. The estate now cultivates around 5 hectares and retains a small proportion of wines sourced from the wine trade. The vines are cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods. Guillaume Lafon, Dominique’s son, joined the project with the 2023 vintage following training in viticulture and oenology; he is now in charge of management and winemaking. Dominique Lafon continues to work alongside him.
