FEATURES
🏰 The 2018 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Montrachet Grand Cru is a white Burgundy of breathtaking quality, with Dominique Lafon producing a record (for him) seven barrels in this vintage, the most since 1982. This Montrachet is subtle, complex, and intense, with easily digested new wood, layers of citrus, stone fruit, and spice, and near-perfect balance. It bursts with expressive aromas of orange oil, white flowers, ripe pears, warm bread, and toasted almonds. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fleshy, and enveloping, with a satiny-textured attack, an ample core of fruit, and chalky grip on the impressively long finish. Vinous describes it as having a stunning, penetrating bouquet that rivets you to the spot with astonishing mineral tension and scents of wet granite, citrus lemon, and grilled walnut. The palate offers hints of white chocolate and almond, amazing delineation, and minerality, not to mention stunning persistence. It's a seriously impressive Montrachet that will be in the conversation for the best the domaine has ever produced. 【Record production and breathtaking quality】
🍴 This Montrachet Grand Cru demands equally exquisite food pairings. It is superb with rich seafood, such as pan-seared scallops, grilled lobster, or turbot with a creamy sauce. It also excels with roasted poultry, especially capon or Bresse chicken, and delicate veal dishes. For a luxurious experience, pair it with truffle-infused dishes or aged Comté cheese.
🥂 The 2018 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Montrachet Grand Cru is the epitome of a celebratory wine, perfect for the most significant milestones and grandest occasions. Its rarity and profound complexity make it an exceptional gift for the most discerning collectors or a centerpiece for an unforgettable tasting event.
