Tasting notes
The 2016 Meursault Désirée was reduced to a single barrel. It has a well defined and quite tensile bouquet, with hints of hazelnut and smoke, gaining in intensity in the glass. The palate is well balanced, fresh and vibrant with a very fine line of acidity, hints of yellow plum, tangerine and sea salt on the long and persistent finish. Excellent. Such a pity there is bugger all of it.

Broad, rich and sweet. Round and lively. A nice fresh structure on the end. Very winning. (JR)
(just a single barrel made from 0.5 hectare): Pale, bright yellow. Musky lemon lifted by a floral quality on the nose. Light, juicy wine with modest thickness of texture but noteworthy cut. The lemon element returns on the persistent, youthfully tight finish. Lafon made this wine in a once-used barrel.
