2010 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Perrières 1er Cru
BY ANTONIO GALLONI |
Many of my most unforgettable moments in wine involve tasting fine, aged white Burgundy. There is just nothing like the thrill a perfectly stored bottle can deliver after 20, 30 or more years. Unfortunately, these moments have become few and far between. Prices have skyrocketed in recent years, while the scourge of premature oxidations has, understandably, made consumers wary of buying expensive wines for long-term cellaring that might oxidize before ever truly peaking, as wines from previous generations did. I certainly feel that way when it comes to the few white Burgundies I buy.
