About Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Perrières Premier Cru

Style: White
Grape Varieties: Chardonnay
Price Range: ¥80,000–¥150,000

The benchmark Meursault Perrières from the estate widely considered the village's greatest producer. Les Perrières' pure limestone subsoils give the wine a spine of stony minerality that no other Meursault climat can match, combined with the textural richness and depth that Comtes Lafon's biodynamic viticulture produces.

Sommelier's Note

This is an absolute masterpiece that every serious wine lover must experience at least once; it defines the pinnacle of Burgundian Chardonnay.

New to wine?

This is a benchmark Chardonnay that offers a profound experience; it is the perfect bottle to understand the true potential of Meursault.

Food Pairings

Pairs exceptionally well with lobster thermidor, roasted turbot with butter sauce, and aged Comté cheese. Its high acidity and mineral depth also complement refined Japanese cuisine such as grilled sea bream or fatty tuna sashimi.

When to drink it

Ideal for milestone celebrations, high-end gastronomic dinners, or as a centerpiece for a serious collector's tasting.

Terroir & Winemaking

The grapes are hand-harvested and pressed gently. Fermentation occurs in oak barrels (with a moderate percentage of new oak) using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged on its lees for approximately 18–22 months without excessive batonnage, followed by bottling without fining or filtration to preserve its natural character.
