Des Comtes Lafon, Meursault Clos De La Barre, 2022
🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH
【From a monopole vineyard cultivated biodynamically, the 2022 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre showcases a marvellous equilibrium between richness and tension.】 This highly anticipated white Burgundy comes from a historic site directly behind the estate, featuring a high proportion of old Chardonnay vines planted as early as 1950. The 2022 vintage yielded over 45 barrels, promising a wine of significant character. It offers high-toned aromas of lemon peel, green apple, hawthorn blossom, and spice, alongside yellow orchard fruit, toasted almonds, white flowers, and oatmeal. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny, and structured, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids, and a pleasant plump feel, built for the cellar.
🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH
This rich Meursault is fantastic with Cantonese steamed fish, especially with ginger and spring onion, or a creamy chicken dish. For Western pairings, think roasted white meats like chicken or turkey, rich seafood such as pan-seared scallops, or dishes with white sauces. It also pairs wonderfully with stinky cheeses and fried foods.
🥂 fit for event suggestion IN ENGLISH
Ideal for a celebratory dinner, a special gathering with discerning guests, or as a prized addition to a serious wine cellar. This wine is a statement piece, perfect for those who appreciate the finest white Burgundy. Given its structure and aging potential, it's best to cellar it for a few years to allow its full complexity to unfold.
BACKGROUND
Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a wine producer in Burgundy, France, making some of the most lauded (and highly priced) white wines from Chardonnay in the region. The primary grape variety is Chardonnay, with a small portion being Pinot Noir. The estate is located in Meursault in the Côte de Beaune subregion, but has vineyards in three other villages: Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay and Monthélie. Comtes Lafon's house and cellar were built in 1869 by the Boch family, but its reputation as a winery was most heavily influenced by Jules Lafon, who married Marie Boch in 1894.
