The 2012 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Premier Cru “Porusots” in magnum (1.5L) is a superbly crafted Chardonnay that showcases the depth and complexity of this exceptional Premier Cru vineyard. Comtes Lafon, one of Burgundy’s most revered producers, is celebrated for its biodynamic practices and its meticulous approach to winemaking. The “Porusots” vineyard, situated just below the iconic “Genevrières,” is known for its limestone-rich soils, yielding wines of richness, power, and minerality. In the glass, this wine displays a golden hue with luminous reflections. The nose is intricate and evolving, offering a layered bouquet of ripe pear, yellow apple, and lemon curd, alongside subtle floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle. Over time, secondary aromas of toasted almond, hazelnut, and a touch of honeyed brioche emerge, framed by a flinty minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied and luxurious, with a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity. The flavors are rich and multi-dime
