2009 is considered to be one of the great vintages for both red and white Burgundy.
Tasting Notes: Mild reduction cannot completely hide the floral and lemon peel nuances, the latter of which can also be found on the citrusy middle weight flavors that possess the fine detail and more obvious acid support on the mineral-driven finish. This is a lovely combination of power and finesse. Worth considering.
Considered one of the finest winemakers in France, Dominique Lafon produces coveted white Burgundies from some of the greatest vineyards in the Cote de Beaune. Always hungry for new challenges, he purchased 14 hectares of vines in the Maconnais in 1999. He believes strongly in the potential of the region, but feels that too few vignerons have attempted to realize that potential. Thus, in the very same spirit he runs his renowned Meursault property, Dominique utilizes biodynamic viticulture, intense soil rejuvenation, tight yield control, and rigorous green harvesting to produce some of the most complex, vibrant and impressive wines the region has ever seen.
