Note di degustazione
The 2011 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has Dominique Lafon at his best. Glistening in the glass, it has a telltale nose flecked with white chocolate and almond, not derived from the new oak by the character of Lafon's winemaking style. That comes across on the precise and poised palate, with top notes of almond complementing the core of minerals that speak up towards the finish. This is drinking beautifully now, but it will continue to give pleasure for many years. Tasted blind at Noble Rot restaurant in London.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières from Dominique Lafon has a very composed bouquet, more Perrières in style that Roulot’s at the moment, with limestone and granite aromas filtering through nicely, gaining vigor all the time. The palate is clean and fresh, detailed with fresh lemon peel and touches of white peach in the background. It is beautifully poised and harmonious right to the finish, this is a very assured Perrières. There is huge potential locked into this wine.
Bright pale yellow. Deeply pitched nose offers pineapple, stone and caramel oak. Plush on entry, then suave and vibrant in the middle, with a strong element of powdered stone framing and lifting the stone fruit and subtle spice flavors. A wine of great finesse and inner-mouth tension. Finishes bracing and long, leaving the mouth vibrating.
