Meursault 1er Cru Goutte d'Or 2022 - Domaine des Comtes Lafon
From the wine estate
95/100 James Suckling
"A very succulent Meursault, filling the mouth and flowing gracefully onto the rather full-bodied palate. Wonderful aromas of honeysuckle and ripe stone fruit. Underlined by a vein of very fine tannins that barely break the smooth surface of this beauty. Silky-smooth finish. Drink or cellar."
Stuart Pigott
An exceptional white
Domaine des Comtes Lafon's Meursault 1er Cru Goutte d'Or is a Côte de Beaune treasure, made from 100% Chardonnay. This great white Burgundy wine boasts remarkable aromatic richness and structure. On the palate, the experience is intense: a full texture, buttery, toasty notes supported by a fine mineral tension. Aromas of dried fruit, honey, hazelnut and a long, saline finish underline the nobility of the terroir. This wine is certified organic, which reinforces its pure, precise character.
Serving suggestions and cellaring potential
This Premier Cru de Meursault is best enjoyed at around 12-14°C, after decanting for around 20 minutes to release all its complexity. It goes perfectly with poultry in cream sauce, roast lobster or mature hard cheeses. Its ageing potential is remarkable: between 15 and 20 years, or even longer in great vintages. The prestige of the Meursault Premier Cru Goutte d'Or appellation is revealed here, enhanced by the expertise of Domaine des Comtes Lafon, the undisputed benchmark for great Burgundy whites.
