The light, focused bouquet has apple blossom and grass clippings. The palate is medium-bodied with fine balance, quite taut and fresh with a dash of spice on the finish. Fine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e90 Wine Advocate - Aromas of sweet orchard fruits and baking spices introduce the 2022 Meursault Clos de la Baronne, with a medium-bodied, soft and ample palate that's round and giving. That makes it the most approachable (but also the least interesting) communal bottling in the cellar. The first produced under the direction of Léa and Pierre Lafon, the 2022 vintage has turned out very well at this address, delivering both quality and reasonable quantity, a welcome change after the vicissitudes of 2021. For now, no big changes are afoot, and Dominque Lafon continues to be a guiding presence—organic and biodynamic farming in the vineyards, barrel fermentation for whites, two winters' élevage on the lees for both colors, and bottling under Diam technical corks (since 2013) continue to be the order of the day. What's new this year are two attractive cuvées of Puligny-Montrachet, the fruit of a sharecropping agreement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA discreet though still visible application of wood sets off smoky aromas of petrol, white orchard fruit and a floral suggestion. The rich, generously proportioned and caressing middleweight flavors conclude in an attractively dry and refreshing finish. This straightforward effort is pleasant and delicious though it could use better depth - Burghound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GRAND CRU SELECTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51261967860018,"sku":"510000000007514","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/2022DomainedesComtesLafonMeursaultClosdelaBaronne.png?v=1780595731","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2022-domaine-des-comtes-lafon-meursault-clos-de-la-baronne","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
