The 2010 Meursault Goutte d’Or fleshes out in the glass with serious richness. Yellow stone fruits, smoke and spices are all layered beautifully. The Goutte d’Or shows the richer, more intense side of village-level Meursault. This is an effortless, gracious wine laced with deep, rich layers of fruit and a totally inviting finish. I can’t remember tasting a more polished and flat-out appealing young Goutte d’Or. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. 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: 2014+ 01 August 2012 |

An expressive and ripe nose speaks of apple, pear and floral notes that include spice hints. There is plenty of volume and mid-palate concentration to the rich, generous and full-bodied flavors that are unusually refined in the context of the appellation, all wrapped in an energetic, linear and impressively persistent finish. This should reward up to a decade of cellar time. Score: 90 - 93 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2018+ 01 June 2012 |
