A discreet but not invisible touch of oak frames the ripe orchard fruit aromas, particularly peach and apricot, as well as pretty floral notes. The fresh, intense and notably sweet flavors possess excellent intensity and vibrancy before culminating in a generous and mouth coating finish that displays real verve. I really like the sense of underlying tension and the abundant amount of dry extract confers an almost chewy quality on the gorgeously long finish. In a word, terrific.

Tasted from a new barrels so a little oakier than the final blend will be, this was the first really creamy Meursault in the Lafon line-up. Really brilliant Charmes fruit with great life and punchy attack. Very easy to like, even at this early stage. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2011-2017 |
