2014 Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Meursault, Blanc 1x750ml

Vinous 90

(bottled the week before my visit): Bright, light yellow. Stone and citrus fruits plus a hint of apple on the nose and palate. Fine-grained, elegant and laid-back, offering a very suave texture for village wine. This dry, understated Meursault should be approachable young and age nicely. [Stephen Tanzer, 09/01/2016]

The 2014 Meursault Village, a blend of several vineyards, consists of 22 barrels rather than the usual 50 barrels. It has an understated bouquet, a little quiet at the moment though nicely defined. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry with fine acidity, though it tapers slightly towards the finish. I feel that this was knocked sideways by the trauma of the hailstorm, a Meursault with its wings clipped and just doing the best that it can. [Neal Martin, 11/10/2015]
