1999 Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Montrachet Grand Cru 1x75cl

Robert Parker 94

Lafon’s 1999 Montrachet is one of the vintage’s few blockbuster. Boisterous flowers, minerals, and pears can be discerned in its explosive aromatics. Medium-bodied and impeccably delineated as well as nuanced, this rich, broad, and opulent wine is exceptionally refined. Satin-textured and loaded with stones, pears, apples, toast, hints of creme brulee and vanilla bean, this is a powerful, harmonious, elegant, and complete wine. Its majestic finish displays buttered pain grille as well as a myriad of spices. Projected maturity: 2004-2012.
