Domaine des Comtes Lafon
Meursault-Genevrières 1er Cru Chardonnay


When Lafon is on they’re so damn good and 2011 Genevrieres is superb, with notable density and concentration for the vintage, and perfectly developed for age 13, with a seamless balance of richness and elegance. It’s captivatingly aromatic with defined fruit, pastry cream and toasted macadamias layered in stony minerality, and the palate is so elegant and satiny with balanced acidity and a long, silky finale. Just gorgeous.

Junipers now Chardonnay vines. Young and less expressive than it will be. Love these wines and this vineyard and village!
