Meursault 1er Cru Goutte d'Or Comtes Lafon (Domaine des) 2011

The wine

Meursault Premier Cru Goutte d'Or comes from a 0.4-hectare vineyard with due easterly exposure on clay and limestone soil. It produces a Meursault requiring long periods of aging, and can appear exuberant in its rich, ripe youth. Over time, a sumptuous wine is revealed: cleaner, and with unparalleled aromatic complexity.

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.
