2004 Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Meursault Premier Cru, Perrieres Blanc 1x750ml

Vinous 93-95

(from fruit picked early, on the second day of the harvest, with 13.8% potential alcohol) Knockout nose combines peach, crushed stone and oatmeal. A step up in sweetness and opulence from the foregoing samples: fat, silky and thick yet conveying an impression of weightlessness. Peach and orange flavors are joined by piquant spices and mounting minerality on the extremely long and thoroughly ripe aftertaste. An impressively complete example of this great site.
