(91-93 points) The 2023 Meursault Village comes from several parcels plus younger vines from Charmes and Perrières. It has a harmonious, quite intense bouquet, with walnut and hazelnut infusing the citrus fruit. Lively. Sapid in the mouth, the palate is well balanced with admirable mineralité, satisfying weight and lovely cohesion on the finish. I think this is really enhanced by those younger vines. - Neal Martin

(91-92 points) In barrel. Includes the young vines from 2016 and 2017 of Les Charmes and Perrières (6 and 3 barrels respectively). A clear pale colour with a fair intensity of white orchard fruit on the nose, with some ripe citrus also on the palate, builds in volume to the back, very satisfying and with balanced acidity. and will have 20% of Clos de la Baronne added.

The Meursault AC at Comtes Lafon had been racked three weeks prior to my visit on the sixteenth of January and was showing very nicely. All of the family’s vines in the Dessous section of the premier cru of les Charmes have been replanted in recent years and for the foreseeable future, are now part of the villages bottling. The bouquet of the 2023 version is excellent, offering up scents of apple, pear, hazelnut, a fine base of chalky soil tones, apple blossoms and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and elegant in profile, with lovely complexity, a good core, fine soil inflection, zesty acids and a long, well balanced finish. Good juice.
