Jasper Morris, 95 Points
"Our plump and peachy friend, never quite seems to have the finesse on the first nose, but shows its class later on. There is more depth and body than the Bouchères, a little lemon scent, a weight of deep white fruit, even some fresh apples, and attractive little points of nuanced acidity. Overall, really well balanced and very persistent."
Burghound, 94 Points
"A slightly riper and vaguely honeyed nose exhibits a lovely array of smoked apple, essence of pear, acacia and a whiff of jasmine tea. There is notably better size and weight, though not the finesse, to the middle weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract on the firmer and more complex finale. This excellent effort should amply reward 10 plus years of keeping."
Decanter, 94 Points
"The wine shows aromas of ripe apple and quince, with elements of chamomile and grapefruit. It shows definite presence on the palate, with rich extract and notable persistence on the finish. Lafon's Gouttes d'Or are located on 0.4ha a bit lower on the slope in somewhat heavier clay soils. This brings a richness to the wine that many will find very appropriate in this appellation."
Alcohol: 13.5%
