2018 Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru “Porusots”

Description

95   Vinous Media
“The 2018 Meursault Les Porusots 1er Cru is maybe the dark horse of Dominique Lafon’s wines this vintage. Exceptional clarity and delineation on the nose the crushed rock and white flower scents wafting from the glass. The palate is well defined and sports a very subtle reduction. Powerful and intense with plenty of spice ginger and white pepper enhancing the finish. Superb. Drink between 2023-2045”

“The 2018 Poruzots chez Lafon is also outstanding but not quite as expressive yet on the nose and palate as the stellar Goutte d’Or. With a bit of coaxing the wine eventually reveals a superb bouquet of apple passion fruit complex chalky soil tones almond a touch of iodine vanillin oak and a touch of dried flowers in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep full-bodied and very pure on the attack with an excellent core of fruit lovely soil signature and great length and grip on the complex and beautifully balanced finish. This will take a couple more years in the bottle to properly blossom but it will be outstanding. Drink between 2025-2060”
