Domaine Jean et Gilles Lafouge

The Lafouge family and their involvement in vineyards can be traced all the way back to the middle of the 17th century. But, for now, we are focusing on the 2 generations who are currently running the domaine. Gilles has really made a name for himself over the past 20 years, consistently producing wines of high quality from the emerging appellation of Auxey-Duresses. Although he has some nice parcels of Meursault, including a very recent acquisition of something quite special (more about this below), it is his lieux dits and 1ers Crus from Auxey for which he is best known. And now that the appellation is being touted as ‘the next big thing’ thanks to the change in climate and its proximity to Meursault, his talented son, Maxime will be able to bask in the increasing glory of their various offerings.
