I’m lucky to have experienced how, over the past decades, this monopole has improved. Gentle. Smart.

Great young volnay. Decanted for about 2 hours, served at 57, paired with pulled pork & vinegar sauce.

Still quite primary with soft red fruits, but extremely enjoyable. WOTN for me against a 2010 duhart Milton & 2010 chateau du sales. Will look for more of this.

Heidi's Group: Memorable Wines (St. Genevieve, Mpls, MN): Bright light gold color. Drank a glass over 90 minutes plus. Powdery lemon, tons of dry extract, pear, excellent cut and minerality, lemon, lime peel, tart and racy; quite youthful. I would love to revisit in two years.

Tasted blind. Harmonious and fresh, but a bit simple. Hint of white flowers, not a lot of acidity, I didn’t think it was a burgundy but perhaps a good Chardonnay from NZ.

Heidi's Gang monthly @ StG. SS,CV,KB,DD,LI & CS. Thanks for organizing Siggy! Candie's btl. Beautiful gem like pale gold. Once again Lafon demonstrates no other producer delivers more refinement, finesse, fruit purity and utterly mesmerizing Chardonnay. At least not for me. Like a Brown Trout rising for a delicate #18 Bluewing Olive dry fly I'm drawn to Lafon's compelling white Burgs. Weightless and so dam pretty! Bravo, my favorite White Burg producer! Definition of ethereal finesse. Thanks Candie!

Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de Barre 2020.
Fantastisk nese på denne.
Parfymert, elegant og lekkert.
Vakkert krydderdryss.
Ikke i nærheten av noe tropisk her.
Superclean og fokusert.
Altså, denne sitter som et skudd!
Sitter svært lenge med stram mineralitet.
En super utgave av CdB. 93-94p

Très classique, très meursault, fin et long, mineralité subtile et salivante, mais pour ma part, il m’a manqué un truc (trop boisé ?) pour être grand.
Le genre de vin travaillé (élevé) un peu engoncé qui met du temps à s’ouvrir, épices douces et fleurs blanches, pâtissier, sans lourdeur ni gras, qui vit sur son terroir finement salin. Avec l’air, il s’allège et la calcaire salin s’impose en finesse.
Je suis parti déçu (quel pedigree), je suis revenu assez séduit au final.
91/92

Volnay 1er Cru 2005 Tasting (Chicago IL): At first I feared this was very advanced, but with a few minutes realized it was still drinkable. Plenty of butterscotch with caramel apple and some hints of apple cider. Very good density for its level, but too mature. My previous bottle opened two years ago was much better.

Contrary to prior reviews, my bottle seemed in a dumb phase. It's certainly a pleasant drink with a stone fruits and a very rounded finished. Although perhaps a bit of an oxymoron, it felt like a plush Chablis. To me, it seemed that the baby fat of a young White Burg had dissipated but has yet to have been replaced by the complexity of age. If representative, I'd wait 5 years to drink this. I have had some amazing older vintages, eg. 2010.

I find I have developed a taste for old burgundies, and while I enjoyed this, it is clearly past its peak. Into the jammy phase. Huge amount of sediment - stand up for a day and decant as the sediment was significant.
That said, very enjoyable if you like older burgs, but drink up of course.

Well 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.

Fantastic. Not the typical Meursault opulence, instead this is refined, pure, fresh, lovely and multi layered.

Beautiful evolving palate of lemons, lightest smoke, acid, fresh light herbs, extremely elegant mouthfeel and always changing sip to sip.

Much more open than the bottle enjoyed summer 2023, and surprisingly mature for its relatively young age, village level or no.

No signs of decline but rather probably at or very near its peak, I can see this going the way of thin, bruised apple if not stored perfectly in the coming years. Glad to have the last bottles here at home in maui.

This was popped and poured, followed over a couple hours after a long week. Knowing we would finish it, I probably should have decanted.

The bottle was perfectly clean and sound. Sort of a right down the fairway expression. Neither reductive or oxidative, balanced without any overly assertive acidity, pretty regal but there is no significant oak on this wine. That’s been my experience so far with Lafon.

Showing a bit of heat upon opening, and seemed to gain some weight with air, which helped, but more concentration would have been welcomed. This 2018 still felt quite young, and yet, I would drink any others in my cellar over the next 5 years.

This was lovely, quite open. Charming fruit with a touch of sweetness but with an energetic finish that keeps it all in balance. More-ish and versatile on the table. Good from now for next 4-5 years.

Fascinating to taste this wine which is clearly in decline now and beyond where I like to drink aged white Burgundies. That's just a personal preference but the bottle was quite sound and while the acidity and verve were gone, the layered flavors of caramel and honeysuckle were lovely. The texture was oily and the finish lacked complexity at this stage but a treat to try.

Wow, what a youthful bottle of aged white Burgundy! Can this really be a village-level wine and age like this?? Great acidity and intensity for a '90 with a beautifully taut, complex, mineral-driven finish.
