Montrachet Comtes Lafon 2013

Domaine des Comtes Lafon Montrachet 2013 is a full-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Grand Cru climat of Le Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a leading wine producer based in Meursault, where it has holdings in some of the most prestigious vineyards. The estate is currently led by fourth generation family member Dominique Lafon, who inherited the winery from his father René in the mid-1980s. The estate boasts well over 3 hectares of premier cru vineyard as well a precious slice of white Burgundy’s prestigious grand cru Le Montrachet, where this release comes from. "The 2013 Montrachet Grand Cru from Dominique Lafon was cheekily demonstrating a “Coche-Dury”-like reduction on the nose that I must admit was very seductive, although Dominique suggested that it will disappear by the time of bottling. The palate is well balanced, tightly wound at the moment, but there are some lovely walnut and spice notes toward the fiery finish and lip-smacking salinity that urges you to take another sip. Bon vin!" Wine Advocate, 2014
