A family estate rooted in the Côte de Beaune, where the demands of the terroir engage in dialogue with an exceptional winemaking heritage.

- Vinification: Biodynamic approach and precise ageing, producing cuvées where the purity of Pinot Noir expresses itself with elegance and tension.
Tasting notes for the Domaine des Comtes Lafon Monthélie 1er Cru Les Duresses 2005 wine
To the eye: Garnet robe with tawny highlights, of silky density and subtly chalky brilliance.
On the nose: Aromas of black cherry and wild blackberry, lifted by notes of violet and liquorice, before a saline touch underlines the minerality of the terroir.
On the palate: Velvety texture, carried by a lively acidity and a fine tannic structure, where flavours of stewed fruit and gentle spices unfold, leading to a long, saline finish.
Serve at 16°C in a Burgundy glass to reveal its full complexity.
