Comtes Lafon Meursault Charmes 1er Cru 2009, “first-rate intensity” Allen Meadows

Domaine des Comtes Lafon has long been one of our favourite white wine producers as they offer beautiful Chardonnay that are of very high quality yet still with approachable price tags compared to the other top white producers like Coche Dury, Arnaud Ente and Roulot. Comtes Lafon own some decent terroirs in Meursault and produce Meursaults of astonishing depth and complexity. The current owner Dominique Lafon started managing the Domaine in 1985 and has maintained the glorious reputation of the Domaine for over 35 years, making outstanding Meursaults from different sites from Grand Cru down to Village. Many of these come with long cellaring potential and we are delighted to offer a parcel of Meursault Charmes 1er Cru 2009 from HK$3,200 per bottle, it received 93pts and a further remark of “Outstanding” by Allen Meadows who describes this as first-rate intensity” and “really lovely purity of expression”, it was cellared by original case in the past and shipped direct from a bonded warehouse in the United Kingdom, let me know if you are interested to get a few!

Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Charmes 1er Cru 2009
HK$3,500 per bottle (12 bts available, ETA 1-2 weeks)

Special Offer:
HK$3,300 per bottle
HK$3,200 per bottle if you buy 2 bottles or above

93pts Allen Meadows “Outstanding”

Note: a blend of fruit coming from 35+ and 75+ year old vines all in Charmes Dessus, which is the best part directly below Perrières and abutting Combettes

Here too there is a very mild touch of reduction that doesn't completely mask the ripe white and yellow orchard fruit aromas. There is first-rate intensity to the mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that evidence really lovely purity of expression on the explosive and driving saline-infused finish. This is clearly a Charmes from the upper part of the vineyard as there is none of the borderline excessive generosity of the lower portion.
