Comtes Lafon Meursault Genevrieres 1er Cru 2020 (750ML)

97 DE / 93-96 JM

Almost ethereal, impressively complex and long, showing a real presence in the spicy aromas and ripe orchard fruit. In the end, it is the elegance that is truly stunning. This wine is from Lafon's holding of more than a half-hectare in Genevrières Dessus. Three-quarters of the vines were planted in the 1940s, the balance was replanted in the 1990s. The fruit is pressed as whole clusters and run into mostly older casks - with a large proportion of lees - for fermentation.--Charles Curtus MW, Decanter

Fine mid lemon and lime. The bouquet is well representative of Genevrières with a slightly riper aspect, bacon notes, which actually clean up almost immediately to leave a serene white cream fruit. This is really nuanced, a perfectly balanced high class Genevrières with an excellent thread of acidity. I wouldn’t want it any riper. Amazingly long finish.
