| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by vinum bonum on 9/2/2019: Hélas, même constat que la précédente: pas de notes spécialement lactiques, mais la bouteille souffre d'une oxydation qui ruine le vin... Dommage, la matière semble belle, mais très peu de plaisir au rendez-vous. (472 views) | | | Tasted by vinum bonum on 12/16/2018: Une déception à la hauteur des espérances. La robe très sombre n'augure rien de bon. Dès l'ouverture, le nez se distingue par des notes lactiques qui masquent tout le reste. Après une heure de carafe, elles sont toujours bien présentes. La bouche, assez grasse, large sans être spécialement puissante, manque d'acidité, de tenue, et de classe aromatique? ce n'est pas mauvais, loin de là, mais on est loin des standards attendus pour moi. Longueur moyenne. Est-ce une variation de bouteille par rapport à la dernière fois (en 2012 tout de même), ou le vin est-il oxydé ? Je n'attendrai pas aussi longtemps la dernière quille... (542 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 7/6/2016 & rated 88 points: White Burgundy Dinner at Nico (Chicago, IL): For my money, Lafon has always been an underperformer in the world of chardonnay. I find that the wines lack the reductive raciness that I like. This bottle was no exception. While it wasn't poxed, it didn't have any freshness left, and the acidity on it seems more tacked on than an integrated part of the wine itself. I've also always found this wine kind of weird, as it always comes off more Meursault-like than Puligny -- Puligny in Meursault clothing, perhaps? Waxy and ripe (but not cloyingly so). Not my style, but showing decently tonight. (1967 views) | | | Tasted by Tim2 on 4/23/2012 & rated 93 points: Drank over two days. Still good the day after (with gas to keep it overnight). Perfectly delicious. (2020 views) | | | Tasted by vinum bonum on 4/3/2012: A l'ouverture, l'acidité domine, il est presque dur. Très fermé et rentré sur lui-même, il offre une palette aromatique limitée. Après deux heures, il s'ouvre et atteint un équilibre fantastique : il garde la tension minérale initiale, mais intégré à un jus d'une très grande élégance. L'un des mielleurs vins blancs bus depuis longtemps, très supérieur au pape clément ouvert deux jours plus tôt. (2052 views) |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
