Decanter, 94 Points 

"Ripe and lush, with notes of hazelnut and butter enlivened by aromas of ripe apple and citrus; this wine is among the great classics of the Côte de Beaune. It is a blend of village-level lieux-dits such as En la Barre (next to the house) and En Luralue, with the younger declassified fruit from premier crus such as Charmes and Genevrières. This represents a total surface of just over 2.5ha. The fruit ripened to an average of 14% alcohol in 2020, and the grapes are lightly crushed then run into cask for fermentation." 

Jasper Morris, 91-93 Points 

"The blend includes Clos de la Baronne, Luraule, En la Barre, Crotots and a tiny bit of young vine Perrières. Lemon and lime, the bouquet has much more depth than Baronne on its own. Impressive density for a village Meursault, acidity in perfect balance, everything in place here, a really excellent straight Lafon Meursault, with ripe fruit, good acidity and excellent persistence." 

Alcohol: 13%
