Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2020 Meursault Village was racked in July into older barrels with on lees without exposure to oxygen (so more like a movement around Lafon's cellar). The nose is quite rich with touches of tropical fruit, orange pith, passion fruit and a touch of quince, not amazingly complex yet focused. The palate is well balanced with a honeyed opening, slightly lower in acidity than expected with a long finish. Fine. Bottled under Diam 30. Closure: Diam 30
