  Color showed the age and the vintage, but wine had good energy and a range of fruit notes.

  A very great wine. Unbelievable freshness (no honey), clarity and precision, while being extremely complex and balanced. The ripe, medium+ acidity carries it perfectly. An archetype of a white Burgundy. A true beauty, complex, elegant and fantastic length. For me, not only one of the best Burgundies I have drunk, but also in the TOP 10 of all white wines of the last 25 years.

  Butter, mineral, honey. Prominent weight on the palate. Fresh flavours; though little complexity on the finish unlike other old Lafon. Unfairly overshadowed by the Coche serving alongside.

  Toasted popcorn, nuts, peach yellow fruit, very fine acidity, strong minerals. Superb clarity, very deep, good nuttiness and breath of depth. Beautiful bottle indeed. 94

  It took more than 3 hours to open up with honey, honeysuckle, ripe yellow fruit, and herbs. The power and intensity on the palate totally reflected the terroir. The wine probably still needs a few more years to fully unfold its nuances. Upside to age it longer.
