There is a touch of the exotic to the dried yellow fruit aromas that include lychee nut and spice hints. The middle weight flavors are clean, cool and utterly delicious with a really lovely acid/fruit balance on the powerful, intense and lingering finish. There is a saline hint on the long finale where a touch of gas is present so be sure to decant this if you're going to try one young. Score: 91 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2017+ 15 April 2013 |

A more typical expression of Meursault emerges from the 2010 Meursault Clos de la Barre. Slate, crushed rocks, lime, citrus and white stone fruits are woven together in this delineated, vibrant wine. The Clos de la Barre possesses tremendous depth, but here polish reigns supreme. Floral notes add lift and total refinement on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. Comtes Lafon’s 2010 whites are just as impressive from bottle as they were in barrel. Dominique Lafon told me the wines changed quite a bit and found their precision during fining. The 2010s at Comtes Lafon are tight and powerful, with plenty of underlying fruit and depth. The 2010s were bottled between March and early June 2012. Score: 91 Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013+ 01 August 2012 |
