The 2018 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Village is a highly inviting wine, benefiting from a considerable improvement in barrel count for this vintage. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by clean grapes and stable pHs, with Dominique Lafon noting that the extra yield brought balance and a bigger difference between villages and premier crus. This wine is a blend of three parcels, combined to produce a wine full of minerality and tension.
Tasting Notes: This Meursault reveals notes of pear, Meyer lemon, hazelnuts, drawn butter, and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple, and succulent, with good cut to balance its mid-palate amplitude, concluding with a flavorful finish. Other descriptions include a racy bouquet, almond paste, light yellow plum fruit, and a lovely texture with bright tropical fruit, lemon, slivered almond, warm spices, and limestone minerals. It's noted for its vibrancy, depth, and rich, round character, with impressive minerality.
Food Pairing: This textbook Meursault would be excellent with rich seafood dishes like pan-seared scallops or lobster in butter sauce. It also pairs well with roasted chicken or creamy pasta dishes. The wine's minerality and acidity would cut through the richness beautifully.
Event Suggestions: The 2018 Comtes Lafon Meursault is drinking well now through 2033, making it a versatile choice for a celebratory dinner, a sophisticated lunch, or a gathering of white Burgundy enthusiasts. 【 Outstanding range of whites in 2018 】
BACKGROUND
Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a wine producer in Burgundy, France, making some of the most lauded (and highly priced) white wines from Chardonnay in the region. The primary grape variety is Chardonnay, with a small portion being Pinot Noir. The estate is located in Meursault in the Côte de Beaune subregion, but has vineyards in three other villages: Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay and Monthélie. Comtes Lafon's house and cellar were built in 1869 by the Boch family, but its reputation as a winery was most heavily influenced by Jules Lafon, who married Marie Boch in 1894.
