Lafon delivers textbook Meursault with concentrated orchard fruit and stunning minerality.

Concentrated apple and pear aromas leap from the glass. Rich stone fruit fills the mouth - golden apple, white peach, subtle spice. Crisp acidity cuts through the richness beautifully. Oak integration flawless. The mineral finish stretches endlessly - classic Meursault terroir expression. Drinking superbly now but will evolve gracefully through 2028. Lafon's precision and depth shine in this 2016.
