WINE DESCRIPTION

This premier cru from Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a classic Meursault-Genevrières. Its complex nose offers aromas of white flowers, chalk and lemon zest, and its palate is rich and creamy with a mineral backbone. On the finish, notes of nutmeg and hazelnut linger, making for a wonderfully balanced and elegant white Burgundy. Enjoy this premier cru with roasted poultry or light fish dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault-Genevrières Premier Cru is a classic expression of Chardonnay from Burgundy.It offers an intense nose of ripe yellow stone fruits, pear and a hint of white flowers. On the palate, it has a vibrant acidity, balanced by a creamy texture and notes of almonds, honey, and brioche. The finish is long and powerful, with a mineral-driven character. This is an incredibly elegant, complex and well-balanced white Burgundy that will continue to develop gracefully over the years.
