Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Premier Cru Perrières

Meursault AOC, France
The apex of Meursault — a Premier Cru that performs at Grand Cru level. Perrières ('the quarry') lies on a pure limestone band; its wines have a taut mineral precision rare in Meursault. White peach, citrus confit, toasted hazelnut, and a limestone-driven mineral backbone. Fermented with indigenous yeast in French barriques (30% new), aged 18 months. Drinks magnificently from 8 to 25 years.
complement
Meursault Perrières' mineral precision and toasted hazelnut richness is the classic companion to butter-roasted sole; the truffle's earthiness bridges the wine's limestone depth.

complement
The wine's lees-derived creaminess and citrus core matches the bisque richness; Premier Cru weight handles the tarragon cream without losing its mineral definition.

complement
The traditional Burgundy white-and-Comté pairing at its finest; the wine's hazelnut-mineral complexity mirrors the aged cheese's crystalline depth; truffle honey bridges.
