Tasting notes
Derived exclusively from the domaine's old vines, the 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières unwinds in the glass with notes of pear, orange oil, white flowers and citrus zest, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive palate. This is the raciest, most mineral wine in the Lafon cellar this year.

Only from Perrières Dessous, the vines in Dessus have been grubbed up. Cask sample. Mid lemon. Citrus-dominated nose, with just-ripe apple and peach on the palate. Rich, concentrated fruit. Lip-smacking, lively acidity. Fresh as a daisy, and not the slightest hint of excessive maturity. Broad, persistent and salty finish. (MH)
The 2023 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a beautifully refined bouquet with real drive—the most complex of their Premier Crus. Touches of crushed stone infuse the citrus fruit, revealing further hints of praline and grilled walnut. The palate is very saline on the entry, countering the richness in this Perrières. Touches of peach and tangerine dovetail into a lightly spiced finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a step above the 2022. It is a riveting Meursault that will give many years of drinking pleasure.
