Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2010 Meursault Perrieres

The Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2010 Meursault Perrières stands as the epitome of refinement among Meursault premier crus. This wine seamlessly integrates precise minerality with expressive fruit, embodying an understated and soft personality. It artfully combines the best attributes of the Genevrières and Charmes crus. The palate reveals a sublime balance, where hints of white flowers and mint contribute to the lift on the finish. While it exudes an electrifying bouquet with intense mineral notes that might momentarily overwhelm the senses, this offering is undoubtedly one of Dominique Lafon's finest from this esteemed vineyard. The palate further attests to its brilliance, boasting a killer line of acidity, a twist of bitter lemon for added tension, and a judicious touch of creaminess that lingers on the detailed finish, elevating this Meursault Perrières to a level of sheer magnificence.

Robert Parker - 95 Points

"The 2010 Meursault Perrieres is the most sublime, refined of the Meursault premier crus. It melds elements of precise minerality and expressive fruit to match its understated, soft personality. In a sense, it brings together the best of the Genevrieres and Charmes. Hints of white flowers and mint add lift on the finish, but this is another wine that is heading straight for a period of dormancy."

Antonio Galloni - 97 Points

"The 2010 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is one of Dominique Lafon's finest offerings from this noble vineyard in recent years, echoing Stephen Tanzer's finding from his vertical in 2019. It has an electrifying bouquet with such intense mineralité that it threatens to overwhelm the senses. The palate is beautifully balanced with a killer line of acidity, just a twist of bitter lemon lending tension, and a judicious touch of creaminess on the detailed finish. Ludicrously brilliant."
