Meursault Clos de la Barre, Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2021

While compositionally similar to the straight Meursault villages, there is even better freshness as well as an attractive hint of star anise. There is again excellent verve to the chiseled and strikingly textured medium-bodied flavors that flash focused power on the firm, complex, balanced and impressively long finish. While definitely early to be making such prognostications, this appears to be the best Clos de la Barre in several years.
