Dominique Lafon, who told me he considers 2010 to be "the perfect vintage for white wines," has a very concentrated set of 2012s in barrel, with crop levels down considerably from the norm. The last of the three hail storms hit the hillside vineyards of Meursault, said Lafon. He noted that acidity levels in the 2012s were typically 4.3 to 4.4 grams per liter, adding that "you feel more acidity in the 2011s because the wines have less body." A couple of his 2012s had not finished their malolactic fermentations when I visited at the end of May. The 2011s had been bottled between a couple days and a month before my tasting at the estate. Lafon told me about "a new little trick" he used with the 2011s to protect the wines against premature oxidation. He injected some CO2 in the process of moving the wines from the barrel to the tank in order to replace the CO2 that would otherwise have been lost during the pumping process.
