Domaine des Comtes LAFON (Meursault) -- 2015 Tasted from Bottle

(Originally published 5 August 2018.)


My reports on vintage conditions and tasting of these and the other Lafon wines of 2015 from barrel are here and here.

2015 Meursault
This wine is medium-weight with lime and minerality plus good purity. 89/A-

2015 Meursault    Clos de la Barre
This wine is light with more minerality than the straight Meursault and it shows good purity. With time, I expect it to be even better than it showed here. 89+/A-

2015 Meursault    1er Cru   Charmes
The nose here is mineral and pure. The mouth is round but without transmitting a feeling of richness. The wine is pure, mineral, and elegant. 93/A

2015 Volnay   1er Cru   Santenots-du-Milieu
Last, turning to red, the Volnay-Santenots-du-Milieu is dense, intense, and nervy with dark fruits. The wine is long. It is rather closed now, but the future potential is excellent. 94/A
