Meursault, Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2022

The 2022 Meursault from Comtes Lafon is rich with classic ripe apple, butter, and hazelnut aromas. The texture is rich and creamy, but the wine avoids heaviness through a fine balance of acidity and extract. Half of the grapes are from the Clos de la Baronne monopole in the heart of the village; the other half is a combination of sites, including En Luraule and En La Barre, with grapes declassified from the younger vines of the premier crus. The grapes are slowly pressed as whole clusters and fermented in cask before ageing over two winters. (Drink between 2025-2045)
