2023 is the first vintage of this Pommard, a brand-new cuvée from a domaine most people know for white Meursault. If you follow Lafon, this is the chance to get in at the start. The fruit comes from leased vines high on the slope in Les Vaumuriens, on the Volnay side of the Pommard appellation. Don't expect the sturdy, muscular Pommard of reputation: this one is medium-bodied with fine tannins, which fits a site that leans toward its neighbour. The timing tells you something too. Dominique Lafon retired at the end of 2021, and his daughter Léa and nephew Pierre now run the domaine. They're the fifth generation of a family that has owned it since 1865, and a new cuvée is one of the clearest signs of where they're taking it. The vines for this bottling are farmed organically, by a house that farms its own vineyards biodynamically and has been certified since 1998.

"The 2023 Pommard Vaumaurien is the maiden release from a fermage located on the Volnay side of the appellation. It has a black cherry- and raspberry-scented bouquet, well defined, benefitting from a soft extraction. The palate is medium-bodied and harmonious, with fine tannins and an easy-drinking but thoroughly enjoyable finish." —Neal Martin

"Aromas of cherries, red berries and smoke preface the 2023 Pommard Vaumuriens, a new cuvée from high on the slope in Pommard. Medium-bodied, bright and mineral, with refined tannins and lively acids, it's a nice addition to the range." —William Kelley

"The new Pommard cuvée from Lafon is delicious – fresh, bright and firm. Wine lovers who overlook the reds from this standout producer do themselves a disservice since both colours are lovely. Here, the expressive pomegranate fruit is shaded with rose petals and spice. The texture is light but firm, with abundant freshness despite the year's heat, drawing the wine to a lingering finish. The grapes are from 0.18ha in the upper part of the climat, which was harvested at the same time as the vines in Monthélie."

More about Domaine des Comtes Lafon

A Meursault institution and one of the benchmarks for white Burgundy. Dominique Lafon took over from his father René in 1984, ended the old sharecropping arrangements and moved the vineyards to organic and biodynamic farming. The wines are rich but never heavy, from Meursault premiers crus like Charmes, Genevrières and Goutte d'Or to the domaine's own monopole, the Clos de la Barre next to the cellar. Built to age, and worth the patience.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Seared duck breast with a cherry sauce; coq au vin; roast chicken with wild mushrooms; mushroom and thyme risotto; pork tenderloin with roasted root vegetables.

Tasting Profile

Black cherry and raspberry fruit. Medium-bodied, with a gentle extraction and fine tannins, so it comes across supple rather than heavy.
