Meursault-Charmes--Vintage 1996 Comtes Lafon Tasting note: Lafon segregates the grapes from his Meursault Les Charmes'youngest vines, blending them with his village Meursault cuvée. The most intense and concentrated berries are earmarked for his premier cru bottling. His dedication to quality is evidenced by the 1996s tantalizing floral, white peach, and toast aromas. Medium-to full bodied, thick, yet feminine and gracious, this superb offering combines power with lace like definition. Ripe white peaches, flower blossoms, and traces of anise are found in this precise, pure, and age-worthy beauty. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2010. Points: 93. Robert Parker. The Wine Buyer's Guide.
