From a Premier Cru vineyard in Meursault and produced by one of Burgundy’s most emblematic estates, this wine combines depth, mineral tension, controlled richness and remarkable ageing potential.

Presentation

Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a major reference in Meursault and one of the most prestigious names in white Burgundy. The estate is renowned for the precision of its élevage, the depth of its wines and its ability to express the nuances of the finest terroirs of the Côte de Beaune with elegance and clarity.

Meursault-Porusots Premier Cru is a respected climat known for producing wines that are broad, structured and deeply gastronomic.

The 2022 vintage offers a particularly appealing expression of Burgundian Chardonnay: ripe, luminous and generous, yet supported by preserved freshness. In this cuvée, the balance between ripe fruit, citrus tension, satiny texture and saline length marks it as a great white wine built for ageing.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault-Porusots Premier Cru 2022 is intended for lovers of great white Burgundy, collectors and enthusiasts seeking a high-origin Meursault Premier Cru: still young, precise and destined for a beautiful evolution in the cellar.

Tasting Notes

Nose:
Noble and expressive bouquet, marked by ripe pear, yellow fruit, lemon zest, fresh apple, white flowers and delicate notes of freshly baked bread. With aeration, nuances of hazelnut, almond, fresh butter and a discreetly chalky mineral touch begin to emerge.

Palate:
Broad, precise and energetic on the attack. The texture is generous without heaviness, carried by lively acidity and a satiny mouthfeel. The wine unfolds with beautiful aromatic intensity around citrus, white-fleshed fruit and finely pastry-like notes, with a tension that perfectly balances the natural richness of the cru.

Finish:
Long, pure and persistent, driven by citrus, fresh hazelnut, fine salinity and an elegant mineral sensation. A deep, refined and gastronomic Meursault Premier Cru, ideal with noble dishes or for cellaring over the coming years.
