The 2013 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Premier Cru “Porusots” in magnum (1.5L) is a refined and complex Chardonnay that highlights the remarkable depth and finesse of this exceptional Premier Cru vineyard. Comtes Lafon, an iconic Burgundy producer celebrated for its biodynamic practices and meticulous winemaking, consistently crafts wines that are both powerful and elegant. “Porusots,” located on the mid-slope of Meursault, is known for its limestone-rich soils, which impart a vibrant minerality and structure to the wine.

In the glass, the wine presents a golden hue with brilliant reflections. The nose is complex and evolving, offering layers of ripe pear, yellow apple, and lemon curd, interwoven with floral notes of acacia and nuances of toasted almond, hazelnut, and flint. Over time, subtle tertiary aromas of honey, brioche, and white truffle emerge, adding depth and intrigue. On the palate, it is full-bodied and luxurious, with a creamy texture supported by bright acidity that provides precision and energy. Flavors of citrus, orchard fruits, and a pronounced chalky minerality lead to a long, harmonious finish with lingering notes of toast and saline.

The 2013 vintage, characterized by cooler growing conditions and a later harvest, lends this wine remarkable freshness and focus, enhancing its aging potential. The magnum format further extends its longevity, allowing it to evolve gracefully over the next 8–12 years, revealing additional layers of complexity.

This Meursault Premier Cru pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as lobster in beurre blanc, roasted poultry with truffles, or creamy mushroom risotto. Domaine des Comtes Lafon’s “Porusots” is a stunning expression of Meursault’s Premier Cru terroir, offering both immediate pleasure and the promise of further evolution for collectors and enthusiasts of fine Burgundy.
