Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Montrachet Grand Cru, 2021
Only sixteen producers globally make Montrachet, and Lafon's one-third-hectare parcel in the southeastern corner (Chassagne-side exposure) is among the world's rarest whites. Unique to this Grand Cru: manganese in the soil, absent in neighboring grands crus—a mineral note that defines the wine's identity. The 2021 vintage tested this terroir like nothing else: April frosts destroyed much of the harvest across Burgundy, yet the surviving grapes were perfect, unblemished, with extraordinary concentration. This is the wine time made: complex, powerful, with years of aging ahead. These bottles represent a generation's great anomaly.
