Paired with a 2007 Mugneret Gibourg Echezeaux. Decanted @ 4:00 this got darker in the decanter and made me quite nervous. A quick taste @ 5:00 allayed my fears. Odd color aside this was a delicious Mersault, good fruit, acidity, texture, balance and lingering finish.

2022 release from the domaine’s cellar… 1 of 2 decanted @ 5:00 served @ 7:00 alongside of a 2006 Raveneau Valmur. Nice gold color, hints of honey and stone fruit, hint of citrus and solid minerality. With more time in the glass this really opened showing quite well. Lovely texture, balance and finish, great contrast to the Valmur

The vineyard surrounding the Lafon house and purchased on release! Light yellow colour with stone fruit nose and outrageous mid palate complexity that easily makes this the best so-called Deuxiemes cru Meursault, if not the best village white burg on the planet. Lanolin nectarine pits on a long palate with subtle caramel notes on the finish, with a zip of acidity that makes this a white wonder that should be a case buy every year. Best now to 2032.
