Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Desiree, Cote de Beaune, France 2022
Meursault Désirée 2022 is a rare and highly sought-after bottling from one of Burgundy’s greatest white wine domaines. Crafted by Dominique Lafon, whose name is synonymous with world-class Meursault, Désirée comes from a small, exceptional parcel that showcases the estate’s signature combination of richness, precision, and extraordinary aging potential.
The 2022 vintage offers a captivating bouquet of white peach, ripe pear, citrus blossom, lemon curd, hazelnut, almond, and subtle mineral notes, with a beautifully textured palate balanced by bright acidity and a long, saline finish. While Meursault is often associated with generosity and roundness, Comtes Lafon brings a remarkable level of energy, purity, and terroir expression, creating a wine that feels both luxurious and incredibly refined.
A true collector’s Meursault, Désirée sits alongside Clos de la Barre as one of the domaine’s prized village-level expressions, offering the depth and complexity that have made Comtes Lafon one of Burgundy’s most revered producers. With careful cellaring, this wine has the ability to evolve gracefully for 15–25+ years.
