critic reviews
The 2018 Meursault Village was matured in puncheons because Dominique Lafon was running out of new barrels for his Premier Crus. It has a very sensual bouquet of dried honey, shaved almond and light passion fruit aromas. The palate is quite sweet on the entry, displaying passion fruit and pineapple tints, and creamy in texture, but for me, it is missing some tension on the finish. I suspect that this will be an earlier-drinking Meursault Village from Lafon.
There are fully 68 barrels of the 2018 Meursault Village this year, a considerable improvement over the usual 50, and the wine is already very inviting, revealing notes of pear, Meyer lemon, hazelnuts, drawn butter and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, with good cut to balance its mid-palate amplitude, concluding with a flavorful finish.
