Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jun 25
The 2015 Meursault Clos-de-la-Barre 1er Cru from Domaine des Comtes Lafon is fresh and lively with cockle shed and oyster shell scents, beautifully knit together with real panache. The palate has a squeeze of sour lemon on the entry and a deft touch of reduction on the finish. This is drinking wonderfully right now. Tasted at the 05/15 Burgundy dinner in The Good Earth.

Meursault Fine Wine

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
