Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre is an iconic Burgundy Chardonnay from the estate's historic monopole vineyard. Aromas of ripe pear, citrus, white peach, hazelnut, flint, and subtle oak lead to a rich yet precise palate with vibrant acidity, mineral depth, and exceptional aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, turbot, creamy mushroom dishes, aged Comté, or seafood in beurre blanc.

Possesses a forward, opulent nose, with notes of citrus and smoke rounded out with riper elements and a bit of spice. The texture is structured and fresh, but there is no lack of density. An exemplary and superb Meursault. This iconic, village-level monopole of the domaine covers more than 2ha just behind Lafon's house in Meursault. The original vines date to the 1950s, with replanting since then. The slope is fairly shallow in thin clay soils directly over limestone. The fruit is lightly crushed and settled before being run into tank for fermentation (maximum 10% new).
