Meursault Boucheres, Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2022

Mid lemon. The nose is fully ripe as Bouchères quickly becomes, but has no surmaturity. In fact, the fruit dances across the palate, very zesty, a little bit of citrus. Manages to be elegant even with the riper style and has persistence.

This wine has already been racked into tank. The style of Lafon's Bouchères differs from some of the other premier crus in his cellar – it is lighter and more delicate, with bright lemony fruit, notes of acacia flowers and salty minerals. The texture is lively with tension and finishes with finesse. The grapes are from 0.30 hectares in two parcels with an average vine age of 40 years; both are organically farmed with biodynamic methods. (Drink between 2025-2045)
