Great Village in a challenging year. Still, Lafon brings the goods with all the characteristics you expect from one of his wine; perfectly ripe fruit, beautifully integrated oak, nice freshness. Very "Lafon" wine.

Quite a muted nose. On palate rather concentrated fruits, quite broad, some lemon, pineapple, apricot. Touch of butter.
More traditional style - less acidic and linear versus some other Meursaults.
Very nice, soft and round but I wonder if lacking just a bit of acidic zip (or arguably purity of fruit if you think the lack of acidity is the Lafon style). Still very good.

I’m concerned by the lack of enthusiasm in these notes. This wine really needed a few hours of air to breathe after which it blossomed.
Beautiful reduction, Flinty and dripping, with concentrated pear and slate. Long finish with ample acidity. This was a marvelous example of what went well in 2018.

A good wine, but highly disappointed. Could have mistaken for a $30 bottle of blanc.

Ripe orchsrd fruit and almond. Good depth but lacks tension.
