RATINGS

92Decanter Magazine (points)

...very pretty, offering up a fragrant bouquet of Meyer lemon, white flowers and citrus zest. On the palate the wine is tense, vibrant and quite mineral...detailed and fine, emphasising elegance over amplitude.

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Sexy aromas of peach oil, soft citrus fruits and hazelnut, plus a hint of menthol reduction...its fruit flavors complicated by an herbal note and supported by sappy underlying minerality...dry, classic Meursault boasts excellent inner-mouth tension and finishes savory and long...

90-92Burghound.com

...cool array of citrus, pear, green fruit and soft floral scents...outstanding concentration to the punchy and powerful flavors that possess excellent size and weight if not much refinement on the impressively saline-inflected finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Powerful. Broad and even a bit beefy... Lots of structure. Savoury lime cordial.

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.
