Dominique Lafon, Meursault Blanc

Dominique Lafon, Meursault Blanc(from Chaumes de Narvaux). This is very Meursault like on the nose of hazelnut, acacia blossom, white fleshed fruit and subtle spice elements. There is fine volume to the fleshy and intense medium bodied flavors that exude a perceptible bead of minerality on the bone dry, persistent and moderately tightly wound finale. This refreshing effort should easily repay 5 to 8 years of keeping.

5% Mazuelo – Matured for 4 years in French and American oak barrels

one of the outspoken advocates of biodynamic viticulture

Disgorged November 2019

In principle

leather and sublime red and black fruits

Delicious now and should age a further 10 to 15+ years

There is again excellent volume to the rich

dark cherry and an array of floral elements

but perhaps this is the ‘minerality’ aimed for
