Very mineral in character, from this most structured of Meursault vineyards, this is a firm wine, tense in style, with great freshness. It is taut, a wine treading a high wire between richness and fine structure. For aging.

Like many wines from Lafon, this is initially deceptive. It bursts open in the mouth, like a fruit bomb. But watch for the structure as well, because this is a wine that will age. Keep for at least 5 years.

With its smoky wood, complex spice and yellow fruit flavors, this is already hinting at its gorgeous, ripe character. It needs time, at least 3–4 years, for its full potential to develop, but this is impressive.

Already a beautifully balanced wine, with firm tannin, ripe cherry fruits and a fine, elegant structure. A plush feel is just beginning to develop, showing through the tight, closed youthful texture.

A structured wine that is going to need 4 or 5 years to really open up. Already there is power and intense green-fruit flavors, but at the moment new-wood flavors are dominant. Don’t drink now.

Rounded wine, the fruit soft and open, contrasting with an elegant texture. There is a light minerality over yellow fruits, spice and vanilla flavor. Age for another year or two.

Rich, soft and gentle, with light tannins, ripe fruit and a pronounced freshness, touched with black cherry. This is not for long-term aging, but it’s worth waiting for 2–3 years.

Full of fruit, this rich wine packs plums and cherries into a style that is sumptuous, with great ripeness. The tannins are soft, sweet and roll well into the rounded structure.
