Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Boucheres 2018

Alongside Coche-Dury, Arnaud Ente and Roulot, the Domaine des Comtes Lafon is one of the benchmarks for quality when it comes to top Burgundies from Meursault; it owns vineyards in a total of seven of Meursault's Premier Cru climats. In the high-altitude Bouchères, the estate owns 0.3 hectares of vines aged between 35 and 55 years. The wines from this site generally display a significantly finer and more structured character than the Premier Crus from the lower slopes. This was also the case in the exceptional 2018 vintage – the hottest since the record-breaking heatwave of 2003. Nevertheless, the wines remain balanced and harmonious. Burghound's Allen Meadows describes the 2018 vintage as "outstanding' and particularly praises its finesse and delicate structure.
