About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Domaine Comte Lafond encompasses 35 hectares in Sancerre. Its holdings include Orme aux Loups, a vineyard planted exclusively with Pinot Noir and associated with the domaine’s production of refined red and rosé Sancerre. No parcel assignment is specified for this cuvée.

Label / history

Baron Patrick de Ladoucette created this special red Grande Cuvée in 1993 as an expression of the domaine’s finest Sancerre wines. Domaine Comte Lafond traces its Loire Valley history to Comte Lafond, who began acquiring vineyards there in the eighteenth century after arriving from Burgundy.
