The 2018 Meursault villages bottling is also a very pretty example of the vintage. This is never a particularly powerful AC, but rather one of complexity, intensity of flavor and lovely transparency and this is certainly the case in 2018. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a refined mix of apple, fresh coconut, chalky soil tones, almond, fruit blossoms and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, fullish and succulent on the attack, with a good core of fruit, fine backend mineral drive, zesty acids and a long, complex and already quite delicious finish.

Pale lemon colour. The 2018 Meursault offers a really racy bouquet then puts on some weight on the palate, though never too much these days chez Lafon. Some almond paste along with light yellow plum fruit, balanced, and with just the length it should have.
