Meursault 1er Cru, Les Charmes--Vintage 1996
Côte de Beaune. Domaine-bottled: Comtes Lafon
Tasting note: Lafon segregates the grapes from his Meursault Charmes' youngest vines, blending them with his village Meursault cuvée. The most intense and concentrated berries are ear-marked 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, and 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 ageworthy beauty. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2010.
