Lafon's 2022 Perrières crystallizes honeyed stone fruit into liquid limestone poetry.
Golden nectar meets crushed chalk. Honeyed Bartlett pears leap from glass with white jasmine perfume trailing behind. Peach kernel richness wraps around mineral spine like silk over steel. Toast notes whisper rather than shout - Lafon's restraint evident. Satiny mouthfeel caresses tongue while limestone electricity jolts palate awake. Each sip reveals deeper layers: citrus oil, crushed stones, hint of brioche warmth. Finish extends endlessly, mineral tension holding fruit in perfect suspension. This 2022 carries Perrières DNA - that unmistakable gunflint precision married to opulent texture. Will develop magnificently through 2035, revealing hidden complexities with patience. Lafon proves why Perrières stands among Burgundy's greatest terroirs. Transcendent.
🍷 You seek Burgundian perfection and have deep pockets for limestone-driven transcendence.
Pairs with: Lobster thermidor, Roasted turbot with brown butter, Aged Comté cheese, Escargot in garlic butter
