Comtes Lafon Meursault Desiree 2015 (750ML)

89-92 BH / 89-92 WA

Note: from the 1er Les Plures, which is a lieu-dit within Santenots
Tasting note: The lemony essence of liqueur-like pear and apple is trimmed in wood, citrus and a pretty floral wisp. The mouth feel of the medium weight flavors is a study in contrasts as there is a certain coolness yet at the same time, a succulence to the round and utterly delicious flavors that possess just a touch better depth and length. This dry and refreshing effort should drink well young too. Allen Meadows – Burghound

The 2015 Meursault Désirée, which Dominique Lafon told me finished its malolactic just before harvest, has a precise, mineral, limestone-scented bouquet that is backward but very focused. The palate is clean and again, precise, edgy and tensile with a steely, green apple and kiwi fruit-tinged finish that is almost understated, but is very long in the mouth. You know, this might ultimately eclipse the 2014—it's that good. Neal Martin – The Wine Advocate
