Meursault Boucheres, Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2015

Very ripe yet fresh and elegant aromas combine notes of white peach, spiced pear and a whisper of lemon zest. The relatively fine middle weight flavors possess a very round, indeed almost, soft mid-palate that tightens up sufficiently on the focused and persistent finish where the citrus element telegraphed by the nose resurfaces. The succulent mid-palate will allow this to be enjoyed young but this understated effort is sufficiently well-balanced to easily reward 6 to 8 years of cellaring, perhaps even a bit more.

Tasted blind, the 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Bouchères exhibits a pretty bouquet of ripe citrus, pear, stone fruit pit and blanched almonds, followed by a medium to full-bodied, delicately textural palate that's bright, precise and decidedly elegant in profile.
