The leading Meursault domaine, biodynamic under Dominique Lafon, prized for Meursault Perrieres and Genevrieres and a sliver of Le Montrachet.
Tasting: No general cellar door; sold on allocation. The family also runs Heritiers du Comte Lafon in the Maconnais.
Cult Meursault domaine under Raphael Coche, famed for flinty, reductive Meursault and a tiny production of Corton-Charlemagne grand cru.
Tasting: No public tastings; among the most allocation-tight and collected whites in Meursault.
The closing day of the Trois Glorieuses, a bring-your-own-bottle harvest banquet at the Chateau de Meursault on the Monday after the Hospices auction. Growers pour rare older white Burgundy from their own cellars across a long afternoon lunch.
Tip: Seats are coveted and largely allocated to the trade and Meursault families; mirror the spirit by booking a Meursault domaine lunch the same week if you cannot get a Paulee place.
