Lafons 2022 Meursault Charmes   

2022 Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Meursault, 1er Cru Les Charmes, Burgundy, France 2022
Decanter 96 Points Tasting
This appealing, approachable premier cru boasts a ripe apple fruit with notes of marzipan, butter and smoke. The texture is creamy and dense, and the finish is voluptuously long. Lafon says the acidity was slightly lower than in 2020, yet the wine does not seem heavy. It is produced from 1.7 hectares of vines, mainly in Charmes Dessus, including some vines planted a century ago. The grapes are pressed as whole clusters and fermented mainly in used casks before ageing over two winters. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2045. Charles Curtis MW 29 May
