Lafon's 2020 Goutte d'Or: liquid gold with volcanic precision.
Lafon delivers liquid perfection. Pear and white peach burst forward, followed by toasted hazelnuts and wildflower honey. The texture stuns - glossy, dense, yet crackling with mineral energy. Each sip reveals new layers: brioche, wet limestone, candied citrus peel. The 2020 vintage brings exceptional focus to this legendary site. Acidity cuts through the richness like a blade. Finish stretches endlessly - honeycomb, sea salt, crushed stones. This Goutte d'Or owns the room without shouting. Needs five years minimum to fully unfurl. Will reward patient cellaring for two decades. Classic Lafon: power meeting elegance in perfect harmony. Worth every penny.
🍷 You're celebrating a milestone that deserves Burgundy's finest white.
Pairs with: Lobster thermidor, Roasted turbot with brown butter, Aged Comté, Truffle risotto
