Meursault, 1993, Comtes Lafon

Two notes, one a cask sample tasted at the Domaine in July 1994. A wine for 'starters' when you start tasting the impressive Meursaults of lafon, but in fact a villages wine that will wipe many a premier cru off the table. Lacking the complexity of the premiers crus of course, but nicely deepgolden in colour, with a quite impressive degree of body, balance and length. Firm acidity here too, making it need time to develop. 1998 would be nice to start drinking this one.

Last tasted at the Lafon/Leflaive tasting at the Amstel Hotel, July 1996.
