Tasting notes
High-toned, aromatic nose combines orange zest and clove. Sweet and aromatic in the mouth, if a bit youthfully aggressive, with floral flavors of peach and orange. Rich and persistent.

Lafon’s 2003 Meursault Goutte d’Or (white) explodes from the glass with alluring aromas of spices and roasted herbs. Deep, concentrated, and sensuous, it slathers powerful layers of honeyed minerals and spiced pears on the taster’s palate. Massively flavorful, this sumptuous wine also reveals an intensely long, highly expressive finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2014. Importers: Daniel Johnnes/Jeroboam Wines, New York, NY; tel.
