Producer

Meursault superstar Dominique Lafon had been eyeing land and property in the Maconnais for some time before he eventually bought some cellars and vineyards around the village of Milly. Here he recognised an opportunity to produce fine, terroir-rich wines that would not cost the earth. The quality and attention to detail is the same here as it is at his Domaine des Comtes Lafon estate in Meursault. farming is biodynamic, fermentation is in tank plot by plot and ageing is tailored to each terroir in a mixture of steel tanks, wooden foudres and demi-muid oak casks. Dominique has a wonderful spread of vines at his disposal from across the region, showing how diverse and interesting the Maconnais can be. The Macon-Milly-Lamartine is widely accepted as the benchmark for style, with taut minerality and a beautiful balance between richness and freshness.
