2006 Le Montrachet, Grand Cru, Domaine des Comtes Lafon

A touch of wood toast frames discreet and almost reticent mildly exotic notes of anise, peach, pear, citrus, floral, mango and honeysuckle that blend seamlessly into textured, sweet, powerful, robust and almost painfully intense full-bodied flavors that possess a textured mouth feel yet retain excellent precision and cut as well. This is a big Montrachet, even by the imposing standards that Montrachet typically brings to bear and one that should age effortlessly for years to come. Don't Miss!

Flowers, peach, and nut oils are dramatically front and center in the Lafon 2006 Montrachet as well. Here is the one overtly creamy wine in this collection, yet it doesn’t in the least lack for ripe citrus juiciness. This lacks the sense of dynamic felt in the Perrieres, but is somehow both statuesque and at the same time ethereal and cloud-like. Suggestions of minerality here have near-sweetness, like fresh scallops or a lobster shell reduction.

A virtually indelible finish suggests distilled floral essences, nut oils, ginger, and crustacean. Too bad there are a mere four barrels of this stunning elixir. The penetration of herbal distillates and citrus oil; seductively sweet gardenia florality; bittersweet nuttiness; and an astonishing combination of super-ripeness and verve, all place the 2005 in the same exalted class.
