Domaine des Comtes Lafon is located in Meursault, in the Côte de Beaune, in Burgundy . He also has vines in three other communes: Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay and Monthélie. The Comtes Lafon house and cellar were built in 1869 by the Boch family, but its reputation as a wine estate was heavily influenced by Jules Lafon , who married Marie Boch in 1894. Lafon purchased many significant parcels of Premier Cru in Meursault and Volnay, and in 1919, plots of the Grand Cru Le Montrachet vineyard. In 1995 it adopted organic practices and since 1998 it has been entirely biodynamic . In 1999, Comtes Lafon established itself in the Mâconnais in the south of Burgundy with a second label: Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon .
