2019 Meursault-Perrières 1er Cru, Comtes Lafon

2019 Meursault-Perrières 1er Cru, Comtes Lafon

Of all the Lafon premiers crus, this is the straightest, brightest, and most direct. It has a salty, sea-breeze air to it, with vibrant citrus fruit and a silky palate. This should age magnificently.

Tasting notes

The 2019 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a wondrous, life-affirming bouquet that asserts its authority and class over the other Premier Crus. No disrespect, but they just do not convey the same enthralling degree of mineralité and tension on the nose, by some margin. The palate is supremely well balanced with great penetration and outstanding nerve and mineralité toward the finish. Hints of stem ginger and white pepper tantalize on the aftertaste. Superb.
