Lafon's 2020 Perrières reaches stratospheric heights of Burgundian white perfection.

Stone fruit erupts from the glass. Pear, honeyed almonds, crushed minerals. This is Perrières at its most profound. The attack is medium-full, satiny texture enveloping the palate like liquid silk. Layers unfold—spiced pear, honeycomb richness, that distinctive Lafon precision cutting through opulence. The minerality builds relentlessly, limestone and chalk threading through golden fruit. Spice notes linger—white pepper, subtle oak integration. The finish stretches endlessly, saline and pure, echoing the vineyard's limestone soul. This 2020 shows remarkable concentration yet maintains ethereal elegance. Drink now for sheer pleasure or cellar twenty years. Lafon's genius distilled into liquid form. Absolutely stunning.
