Domaine Lafouge Jean & Gilles

What is the history of Domaine Lafouge?

Gilles Lafouge is now the fifth generation to run Domaine Lafouge and his son, Maxime, currently at the Lycée viticole, will follow in Gilles’s footsteps very soon. Since Gilles moved in his new winery in 2016, the wines have improved greatly in quality

Where are Domaine Lafouge wines produced?

Most of the vineyard holdings Domaine Lafouge has is in Auxey-Duresses with a few vineyards in Meursault and Pommard, all of which are farmed organically. The estate is a good example of what Auxey-Duresses has to offer, with grapes coming from the best vineyards such as Duresses (exclusively available at Latimer) and Climat du Val for the reds.

What makes Domaine Lafouge wines unique?

The wines from Domaine Lafouge are unique in terms of the value that can be found across their entire range. As a village, Auxey-Duresses is where one can find value for money which is not compromised by a lack of quality. With global warming now helping ripeness in areas that once were a little too cool, Auxey-Duresses should no longer be overlooked as a “lesser appellation”. Their other wines in the range should also not be overlooked as their winemaking talent is evident consistently.

Does Latimer Vintners offer Domaine Lafouge en primeur?
