Critic Scores

92 // Allen Meadows

"Exuberantly fresh aromas include those of grilled hazelnut, lemon rind and spiced apple. There is a bit more volume to the notably more complex and more concentrated flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the lightly stony finale. This is a beautifully textured Meursault villages and worth checking out. *Burghound Outstanding Top Value!*"

91 // Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Notes of pear, warm bread, white flowers and toasted nuts introduce the 2019 Meursault Village, a medium to full-bodied, elegantly muscular wine that's bright and lively despite its concentration and depth. This year, the Lafarge family produced only one cuvée of Meursault, as yields were so low. This exemplary domaine offers a wonderful example of living tradition, producing wines with a resolutely classical aesthetic, but thoughtfully and with continual incremental progress in the vineyards and the cellar. Sadly, the venerable Michel Lafarge left us last year, but his legacy will be with us for many years to come—manifested not only in the domaine's wines but also in Anne Lafarge's book, "La Passion d'Une Vie," which sits on my desk as I write up these reviews and which I warmly recommend to any Francophone readers. The 2019 vintage, moreover, must surely have given Michel Lafarge considerable satisfaction before his passing, as it is a magical year at this address, delivering wines that are concentrated, vibrant, perfumed and complete—wines, indeed, that largely exhaust this writer's mine of superlatives. There are signs that collectors' fixation of the red wines of the Côte de Nuits at the expense of those of the Côte de Beaune is decisively changing, as Lafarge prices on the secondary market really begin to soar, a trend that long-time followers of the domaine will concede is merited even if they lament it. What is clear is that it is only just beginning,"

Description

The 2019 Meursault Village comes from three parcels and had been racked in mid-July. It is quite backward and primal on the nose with light patisserie and floral aromas. The palate is well balanced with a tangy opening, touches of marmalade and quince on the entry with a focused, straightforward finish. A good, solid Meursault.. - Neal Martin
