Meursault Clos de la Barre, 1992, Comtes Lafon

Two consistent notes, one from a bottle tasted at the Domaine in July 1994, shortly after bottling. Young and vivid appearance then, although my palate was 'handicapped' (see Charmes 1992) by the fact that we had just finished tasting the 1993 Montrachet). Good body, slightly fat in appearance, good length.

By 1997 the wine had developped very nicely. Rich golden colour for a lieu dit Meursault. Smokey nose with almonds and a touch of honey and spiciness. Full bodied, maybe a little plump, but with good length and balance. Almost ready for drinking, but will develop further.

Last tasted February 1997.
