Vertical wine tasting of Meursault Clos de la Barre by Domaine des Comtes Lafon.
2000 vintage demonstrates powerful nose with beautiful aromas lacking density on the palate. Very clean, intense fruit with aromas of flowers and white fruit. Unfortunately aromas faded away in 15 minutes and that was a great disappointment.

Pale gold. Incredibly fresh nose of white flowers, stonefruit, fresh cut grass, slate, and some lemony citrus. Loads of yellow apple fruit on the palate in addition to great slatey minerality. Remarkably fresh. High acid. Didn't take proper notes but this was absolutely perfect to pair with a Hawaiian fish curry. Crowd pleasing and a pleasant surprise.

Archetypal Meursault. Butter and hazelnuts. A nice line of minerality keeps it interesting. Drink up

Lafon 1er Cru and Méo-Camuzet Vosne-Romanée Aux Brulées Dinner (Les Nomades - Chicago IL): Served blind to the group, I knew the flight but not which wine was in each glass. Tired nose, more lively flavors with good density. Knowing there was one Villages level, I thought this would be it, which also helped me identify each wine in the flight correctly.
