2005 Meursault Clos de la Barre Domaines des Comtes Lafon
Situated at the heart of the village, behind the house, this 2.1 ha parcel is a totally enclosed 'monopoly'. It faces due east on a slight slope, in shallow, clay soil on a subsoil of hard limestone. The upper reaches of the parcel have been replanted in April 2004 (0.5 of an hectare). 0.8 ha are 50 years old and 0.8 ha are between 30 and 25. The wines it produces are rich and fairly mineral driven with a pronounced citrus fruit aroma when young and marked acidity on the finish. This Meursault should be kept for at least 5 to 7 years..
