RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

...delivering dollops of honey, smoke, spice, tropical, pear and lemon and a hint of botrytislike, dried fruit character. Buttery, silky finish tops it off.

90-92The Wine Advocate

The latter wine has an unyielding nose, but explosive flavors of hazelnuts and minerals. This forward, full-bodied wine with good length.

..largely primary fruit of white flower and a touch of green apple hints with no botrytis introduce relatively big, intense, round yet detailed flavors of excellent density, purity & length. However, it's the balance that sets this apart..

PRODUCER

Comtes Lafon

Comtes Lafon’s white Burgundies are among the most admired in the world. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that the domaine’s wines are “one of the reference points for white Burgundy.” Owned by the Lafon family and now run by Dominique Lafon, the domaine owns 34 acres of vineyards planted to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Based in Meursault, the domaine’s wines are Meursault, Montrachet and Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu. Parker has written that “low yields, ripe fruit, and a non-interventionist winemaking process are the norm at Lafon. The deep, cold cellars allow for a slow elevage….” Annual production is fewer than 5,000 cases.
