Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, 2022
Charmes is one of Meursault's most celebrated premier crus, and for good reason. Lafon's substantial 1.71-hectare holding spans two distinct microclimates: lower Charmes-Dessous, where clay dominates and creates an opulent, generous wine, and upper Charmes-Dessus, where limestone takes over and adds minerality. What emerges is a wine of balance—creamy and buttery with stone fruit and citrus complexity, yet underpinned by mineral tension that keeps it from becoming soft. It's the definition of a wine that evolves in the glass, revealing layers as it breathes.
