Aroma Profile: This wine captivates with a bouquet of buttery nuances and toasted hazelnut aromas—a hallmark of Meursault’s limestone-rich soils. Subtle hints of stone fruit and pear mingle with honeycomb sweetness, while almonds and spice add depth to its aromatic complexity.
Flavor Profile: On the palate, this Chardonnay delivers a rich, velvety texture that balances opulence with precision. The mid-palate unfolds layers of gourmand flavors—creamy vanilla notes intertwined with saline minerality—that linger impressively on the finish. While maintaining Burgundy’s signature tension, this vintage offers a lush approachability that appeals to both connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.
Vineyard Distinction: Crafted from a unique 0.45ha parcel in Plures (historically named Désirée), this wine reflects Lafon’s commitment to tradition. Though eligible for Premier Cru status, Lafon honors the parcel’s 19th-century identity, underscoring their dedication to preserving Burgundy’s heritage while pushing boundaries in winemaking innovation.
Acclaimed Quality: Recognized by critics worldwide, this wine earned 94 points from Decanter for its buttery richness and 93 points from Wine Advocate for its “satiny” texture and layered complexity. Perfect for collectors or those seeking a refined gift, this 13% alcohol vintage is a testament to Lafon’s artistry in crafting wines that transcend time.
Whether enjoyed at a sophisticated dinner party or as a thoughtful addition to your cellar, this 2020 Meursault Désirée stands out as a masterclass in Burgundy’s white wine tradition—a celebration of terroir, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal.
