Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre, Cote de Beaune, France 2022
Meursault Clos de la Barre 2022 is one of Burgundy’s most iconic white wine benchmarks, produced from the domaine’s historic monopole vineyard, Clos de la Barre, located directly adjacent to the family’s cellars in Meursault. Under the direction of Dominique Lafon, Comtes Lafon has become one of the world’s most celebrated producers of Chardonnay, renowned for wines that combine power, purity, minerality, and extraordinary longevity.
The 2022 Clos de la Barre is a magnificent expression of Meursault, offering a layered bouquet of ripe pear, white peach, lemon curd, acacia blossom, hazelnut, almond, and subtle toast, followed by a palate of remarkable texture and precision. The wine’s natural richness is beautifully balanced by chalky minerality, vibrant acidity, and a long saline finish that reflects the limestone soils of the vineyard.
A true collector’s Burgundy, Clos de la Barre sits among the elite white wines of Meursault. More structured and age-worthy than typical village bottlings, yet delivering the generosity and elegance that make Comtes Lafon so revered. With proper cellaring, this wine can develop beautifully for 15–25+ years.
