Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Dominique Lafon picked his chardonnay early, then stopped for four days and started harvesting the pinot noir on September 25. He told me he got better ripeness but not more rot as a result of waiting, but admitted that there was "a bit of work to do" on the sorting table for the Auxey-Duresses. He did less pigeage for his Auxey-Duresses and Volnay villages as he was more concerned with getting fruit than structure. Not surprisingly, Lafon's 2005 Volnay Santenots is one of the most impressive Cote de Beaune reds of this very strong vintage. Lafon described it as the best red wine he's ever made, and it's hard to disagree with that assessment.
