Note di degustazione
This site often ages as well or better than some of Lafon's premiers crus, and the 1992 Meursault Clos de la Barre is still drinking beautifully at age 30. Wafting from the glass with aromas of white peach, confit citrus, drawn butter, almond paste and flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit underpinned by lively acids. If you're holding this, there's really no reason to wait.

The 1992s are still in cask, hence the estimated ratings. Lafon rarely filters his wines. All of Lafon's 1992s are ripe, rich, precocious wines that will not have the aging potential of the superb 1989s, and excellent 1990s. Lafon, who sells only ten percent of his production to the United States, believes his 1992s are similar to the 1982s (probably the best wines of the vintage), but with more intensity and purity. Tasters will notice a jump in intensity and concentration with the 1992 Meursault-Clos de la Barre. The wine reveals a flowery, honey, nut, and butter-scented bouquet and flavors.
