comtes lafon 2008 monthélie les duresses
2008 Comtes Lafon, Monthélie 1er Les Duresses There’s a bit of texture from some dissolved CO2 – I make a quick impression of a racing driver, there’s a ‘phut’ from the end of the bottle (as I remove… Read More
comtes lafon 2007 monthélie les duresses
2007 Comtes Lafon, Monthélie 1er Les Duresses Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose starts a little burly but settles down, softening with time in the glass: fine red fruit and a Volnay-esque perfume – very nice indeed! Lithe, lovely… Read More
Profile: Domaine des Comtes Lafon (Meursault)

lafon’s 2006 monthelie les duresses…
2006 Comtes Lafon, Monthelie 1er Les Duresses The nose and also the rest of the wine began rather unauspiciously – aromas of meat and a burly, unfriendly flavour profile. Three hours brought some modest reprise – if I opened another, I’d put it in a decanter. The transformation… Read More
