Goutte d'Or—the "drop of gold"—is named for the distinctive golden flint visible in its soil, and you can taste that mineral richness in every sip. As the first premier cru vineyard encountered when leaving Meursault toward Puligny, it sits closest to the village and enjoys a cooler east-northeast exposure that proves advantageous in warm vintages. The wine opens with lime flower and nut aromas, then reveals superior tension and poise on the palate, the flint-rich terroir creating a distinctive minerality that sets it apart. This is a wine for those who seek complexity without heaviness.

"A subtle application of wood frames cool and once again, smoky aromas of white flowers, apple and toasted hazelnut. There is good if not special density and volume to the delicious and super-sleek medium weight flavors that possess very good power on the lightly mineral-driven finish that offers impressive depth and persistence. This is more refined than it usually is and overall, quite lovely."

Antonio Galloni

"The 2022 Meursault Goutte d'Or 1er Cru has a quintessential Meursault nose with walnut and hazelnut infusing citrus fruit, displaying fine tension and a sense of energy. The well-balanced palate has a supple entry, quite concentrated yet refined with a slightly honeyed finish - hints of marmalade and quince. Lovely length here - superb." —Neal Martin

Robert Parker

"Unwinding in the glass with aromas of pear and orange oil mingled with white flowers, apple blossom and freshly baked bread, Lafon's 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Goutte d'Or is medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a textural attack that segues into a layered and lively palate, concluding with good grip on the finish." —William Kelley

Decanter

95 points

"The dense, rich Gouttes d'Or is initially somewhat closed, but with time, ripe, buttery fruit aromas with hints of apple, apricot and honey open on the palate with hints of hazelnut and smoke. The texture is lush and powerful, but it is not yet showing its full potential. The grapes are from a 0.39-hectare parcel replanted with a combination of massale selection and clones in the '90s. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in cask before ageing over two winters."

More about Domaine des Comtes Lafon

A Meursault institution that makes white Burgundy the way it should taste: rich but not heavy, layered but not overwrought. These Chardonnays from the Côte de Beaune sit at the intersection of power and elegance, especially the prized Clos de la Baronne, where the limestone terroir speaks clearly. The house has built its reputation on consistency and refinement—wines that age gracefully and reward patience. If you want to understand what limestone and lees aging can do in the hands of masters, this is where to start.
