2014 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru CharmesChardonnay more |
4/24/2024 - jfpwine Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis is not revealing much initially on the nose, displaying only citrus and herbal aromas. This is tense and coiled on the palate, extremely mineral and refreshing, with a bit of reduction. The structure is flawless, building on layers of stone, mineral and citrus, only to reveal hints of tropical fruit after some time in the glass. This is a wine built to age, and nowhere near its peak. Long finish. Excellent. |

4/24/2024 - jfpwine Likes this wine: 94 pointsDeep lemon color. Great purity of fruit on the nose, with ripe lemon, stone fruit and pear. The intensity of the nose manifests also on the palate, with the addition of a strong mineral core and acidity. Great definition in the mouth, precise and full, ending in a very long finish. |

4/25/2024 - sid_loves_wine Likes this wine: 93 pointsAll of these notes are based on a glass and half, sipped very slowly and shared by a generous friend after about 18 hours open (and re-corked in fridge.) Don't pay much attention to my "score" here- as with my recent experience with Mugneret-Gibourg, this price point isn't something I engage with often in wine, and so I can't easily compare it to similarly-valued offerings (especially with the secondary market at play); what's more, even just considering the amazing quality of the wine alone, it DEFINITELY needs at least a few more years to blossom, in my opinion, to be worth the price of admission. |

Guessed both to be from the 1970s and was shocked that they were two decades older, I felt this was autumnal rather than tertiary. Apparently this Lafon should have showed even more youthfully! |

4/20/2024 - burgconvert wrote: flawedAnother one from Acker Retail bites the dust. It wasn’t oxidized or a cork taint, rather fully stunted aromatically. Very similar to what happens when you leave a bottle in the food fridge for too long - kills any primary or otherwise wafty aromas (was expecting honey, butter popcorn, and hazelnut here). Left a tart and acidic body as well. Will just say that I’m not convinced this bottle wasn’t fake - there were bits of cork in the bottle despite a fully intact cork and I had a nasty inflammatory reaction the next morning… |

4/20/2024 - CHINACAT wrote: 91 pointsPretty ruby color with a nice bouquet. Ripe red cherries, some earth and leather, with good length and complexity for this AOC. Ready now, but should be in the prime window for a couple of more years. |

4/22/2024 - enthusiastic_amateur Likes this wine: 89 pointsWell balanced with good acidity throughout. Stone fruits & citrus along with oak presence. Everything is there but not at the level expected for the price point. Tough QPR, as these prices have soared. |

1994 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru CharmesChardonnay more |
4/20/2024 - William Kelley Likes this wine: NRLafon's 1994 Charmes is drinking beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of confit orchard fruit, lemon oil, iodine and chamomile, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave palate that exhibits exceptional tension and structure for the vintage, its core of ripe fruit fully intact and framed by chalky structuring extract. This is a definite over-performer that's in its prime today. |

4/18/2024 - finediningnyc Likes this wine: 97 pointsWhen mature Lafon hits, oh man. When the Somm poured the one ounce taste, didn’t even need to. Aged white burg at its finest from 02 Charmes, still incredibly youthful and vibrant with captivating aromatics of spiced orchard fruit, toasted hazelnuts and butterscotch that comes in waves, and the palate is expansive, textural and stunningly complex, both rich and refined with a silky, crystalline mineral finish. Amazing wine. |

4/8/2024 - melzar wrote: 92 pointsExcellent White Burgundy, perhaps a little young. Oak needs further integration, so I'll take a chance that the premox bug doesn't bite, and hold my remaining bottle for a few years. I may have served this wine a little too cold, as it improved as it warmed in the glass, verging on a 93. I love high end white Burgundy, but it's hard to justify the price, considering the number of inexpensive good Mâcons available. |
