2020 Meursault, Gouttes d'Or, Comtes Lafon

Another success is the 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Goutte d'Or, a medium to full-bodied, chiseled and tightly wound wine evocative of pear, lime zest, freshly baked bread and toasted almonds. Bright and concentrated, I suspect it will flesh out with further élevage to offer a more textural, enveloping profile in bottle. ~ (93) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-20-2022

A slightly riper and vaguely honeyed nose exhibits a lovely array of smoked apple, essence of pear, acacia and a whiff of jasmine tea. There is notably better size and weight, though not the finesse, to the middle weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract on the firmer and more complex finale. This excellent effort should amply reward 10 plus years of keeping. ~ (94) Allen Meadows, Burghound 6-1-2022

The 2020 Meursault Goutte d'Or 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet with fine delineation, orange pith and apricot, hazelnut with a touch of flint. The palate is beautifully balanced with insistent grip on the entry, more saline than the Bouchères, fine delineation with great precision on the finish. Very...complete. Closure: Diam 30 ~ (95) Neal Martin, Vinous 12-1-2021

Mid lemon. Citrus upfront, but powerful and intense with trenchant acidity. ~ (17) Matthew Hayes, JancisRobinson.com 12-1-2021
