The bouquet is bright and classic in profile, offering up a pure blend of pear, lime, a touch of passion fruit, chalky minerality, a discreet framing of vanillin oak and a floral topnote redolent of geranium. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, focused and again, beautifully transparent, with a fine core of fruit, zesty acids and a long, complex and very well balanced finish.
Producer Information
Domaine Jean et Gilles Lafouge produces a range of impressively consistent and compelling wines from some 10 hectares spread across the appellations of Auxey-Duresses, Meursault and Pommard. Old vines, cultivated soils and classical winemaking are the rudiments of Gilles Lafouge’s recipe for success. The clean and organized cuverie and cellar immediately communicate a sense of dedication and attention to detail that comes across just as strongly in the glass. This estate is a source of superb Meursault and Pommard, but don’t neglect the range of Auxey-Duresses red and white, wines that demonstrate what these terroirs can deliver when given the same treatment as more glamorous appellations.
