2001 Meursault Clos de la Barre

Green gold. Very good, obviously top drawer stuff on the nose. Silky yet concentrated – just so dense! Very dry (as opposed to sweet) with masses of acidity too and great depth. No compromises wine. Great life and vivacity. (JR)

The light to medium-bodied 2001 Meursault Clos de la Barre displays minerals and hazelnuts in its aromatics. This offering exhibits a flavor profile dominated by lemon-infused minerals. Pure, focused, deep, and long, it is well-delineated and detailed. Drink it over the next 6-7 years. Dominique Lafon is on fire, in a zone, on top of his game. He’s never made better wines, and he improves with each passing vintage.
