Wine Critics Notes:

Vinous - Score: 90-92 (2018 September)

(11 barrels made, vs. just 1 in 2016; in fact, Lafon carried out a green harvest here because of the young age of the vines): Shows the soft citrus side of Meursault, along with aromas of flowers and hazelnut. At once gentle and fresh, displaying a more saline character and more obvious minerality than the village wine. With better acidity, this wine conveys good definition and less easy sweetness. Finishes penetrating, elegant and long, with sappy minerality.
