Lafon's golden drop delivers opulent Meursault perfection in spades.

Golden nectar from Burgundy's master. Rich honeyed pear floods the glass. Meyer lemon zest cuts through lavish cream. Hazelnut whispers emerge mid-palate. That glossy, almost viscous texture Lafon perfected. Mineral spine keeps opulence in check. Stone fruit deepens with air. Brioche notes build slowly. The finish stretches endlessly - warm spices, wet limestone, candied citrus peel. This 2016 captures Goutte d'Or's sun-soaked slopes perfectly. The fruit is abundant without being heavy. Oak integration is seamless. Ten years minimum aging ahead. Classic white Burgundy power married to elegant restraint. Lafon at his most expressive.
