The 2010 Meursault Perrieres is the most sublime, refined of the Meursault premier crus. It melds elements of precise minerality and expressive fruit to match its understated, soft personality. In a sense, it brings together the best of the Genevrieres and Charmes. Hints of white flowers and mint add lift on the finish, but this is another wine that is heading straight for a period of dormancy. Anticipated maturity: 2015+. (Not yet released) Comtes Lafon’s 2010 whites are just as impressive from bottle as they were in barrel. Dominique Lafon told me the wines changed quite a bit and found their precision during fining. The 2010s at Comtes Lafon are tight and powerful, with plenty of underlying fruit and depth. The 2010s were bottled between March and early June 2012.

Bright medium yellow. Very refined, complex aromas of pineapple, crushed stone and white flowers. Surprisingly full on the attack, then wonderfully juicy, suave and intense in the middle palate, showing terrific lift to its flavors of lemon, pineapple and pungent but harmonious minerality. The rising, palate-staining finish reminded me of the '14, but this wine enters the mouth with more obvious breadth and richness. Lafon told me he had planned to pick this fruit on a weekend but because of a storm a week before that, he was afraid that the grapes were going to turn quickly so he picked a few days earlier than anticipated, when the grapes were just on the verge of changing. He added: We didn't really have botrytis yet, but the grapes would have turned blue in two more days. This impeccably balanced, slightly creamy wine finishes minerally, youthful and very long. (13.5% alcohol; 25 hectoliters per hectare; 4.7 g/l acidity; 3.17 pH)
