Lafon 1er Cru Charmes-parcellen dækker mere end en hektar, dvs. et fint lille stykke, der ligger på Puligny-siden, som nabo til Etienne Sauzets Puligny 1er Cru Combettes. Druerne knuses let, hvorefter de langsomt presses, gæres og modnes i barriques, hvoraf omkring en fjerdedel er nyt træ. Lafons stramme, ret sparsomme stil er noget af det modsatte af den rige Cru Charmes, og derfor er hans vin fra dette sted altid noget særligt. Vinen fejer hen over tungen som en laser med citrusfriskhed, den cremede mirabelleblomme med mandelcreme forbliver subliminal, saltholdigheden er i højsædet. Et strejf af kumquat og grapefrugt i kernen. Meget lang og mejslet, forbliver fuld af berusende energi og legesyge lige til slutningen. En charme som ingen anden.

Decanter om: Meursault Charmes Premier Cru

This appealing, approachable premier cru boasts a ripe apple fruit with notes of marzipan, butter and smoke. The texture is creamy and dense, and the finish is voluptuously long. Lafon says the acidity was slightly lower than in 2020, yet the wine does not seem heavy. It is produced from 1.7 hectares of vines, mainly in Charmes Dessus, including some vines planted a century ago. The grapes are pressed as whole clusters and fermented mainly in used casks before ageing over two winters. 96/100

Tim Atkin om: Meursault Charmes Premier Cru

This is extravagantly floral with pretty peach undertones. Cantaloupe and ample extract sit in the mid-palate amongst swathes of spice rack generosity. Good and boisterous acidity keeps the palate feel going. The balance is seamlessly harmonious here thanks to the forward, crunchy lift. 96/100

Parker om: Meursault Charmes Premier Cru

The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes is brilliant, offering up aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit mingled with notions of apple blossom, buttery pastry, freshly baked bread and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's structured and multidimensional, with impressive reserves of chalky extract and a long, palate-staining finish. Of Lafon's "big three" in Meursault, it's often Les Charmes that ages the best over the very long term, and I could certainly see that being the case in this vintage. 94-96/100
