2009 Macon Bussieres, Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon, 12-bottle case, En Primeur
2009 is a very well balanced year and is very lucky to be so. After a patchy start to the first half of the season with rain ever present and threatening, along came a blistering August that brought on the ripening of the grapes. If September had turned out hot and sunny we might have had another 2003 on our hands but cool cloudy weather reigned-in any excess. The result is a generously flavoured more info >>

2008 Meursault, Domaine Comtes de Lafon 12 bottles per case
The fruit for this comes from three small parcels of vines, the oldest being En La Barre which was planted between 1953 and '56, and is supplemented by wine from the young vines of Clos de la Barre, Genevrières, Goutte d’Or and Charmes.
2008 Le Montrachet, Domaine Comtes de Lafon 3 bottles per case
Ancient vines of which 80% were planted in 1953 and the balance in 1972, by the Morey family. This three-quarters of an acre site produces pitifully low yields (20 – 35 hectolitres per hectare), but the health of the vines has improved dramatically since Dominique took this into biodynamic cultivation. At the very southern end of Le Montrachet, facing south, the wines are usually quite high more info >>
2008 Volnay 'Santenots du Milieu' Domaine 12 bottles per case
From nine acres of the best-sited vines in Les Santenots, and one of the more important sites of Volnay. Oldest vines here are 60 years old – but the average is around 30.
