Tasting Notes

WA90

Based on his holdings in En La Barre, along with Luraule and Chaumes de Narvaux next door to and above Gouttes d’Or respectively, and this year incorporating two barrels of young vines Genevrieres that were late finishing malo, Lafon’s 2006 Meursault features refreshing lime and pineapple; suggestions of raw rather than toasted nuts and grain; a silken but not at all creamy texture; and a long finish with cress, chalk, and pepper accents. This should be worth cellaring for 3-5 years. The almost briny, deeply savory 2005 is impressive if less refreshing or fun to drink today.

BH90

This is a lovely combination of ripe orchard fruit and overt citrus aromas with a soft touch of exoticism where the latter can be found on the rich, naturally sweet and generous flavors that possess an undertone of finishing minerality on the persistent finale.
