Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières Comtes Lafon (Domaine des) 2003
The wine
Restricted yields, late harvesting and traditional vinification ensure the terroir is usually able to express itself. This Meursault Premier Cru Genevrières marvellously combines and sublimates the village's unique characteristics: a refined, generous nose (evoking honey, hawthorn and hazelnut) and a palate of legendary richness. It will require at least ten years' aging before it delivers in full.
About the Producer Comtes Lafon
There is one domain in Meursault that stands out for both its quality and resulting worldwide reputation: Domaine des Comtes Lafon. Established at the beginning of the 19th century by a wealthy amateur called Jules Lafon, the house is today directed by his great grandson, Dominique Lafon. It uses the same family traditions and covers 13 appellations. The domain has for a long time aimed to preserve the environment in its winemaking process. It now uses biodynamics and was officially classified "organic" in 1998.
