2014 Meursault, Les Six Climats, Comtes Lafon, Six-Bottle Assortment Case

The 2014 Meursault Village, a blend of several vineyards, consists of 22 barrels rather than the usual 50 barrels. It has an understated bouquet, a little quiet at the moment though nicely defined. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry with fine acidity, though it tapers slightly towards the finish. I feel that this was knocked sideways by the trauma of the hailstorm, a Meursault with its wings clipped and just doing the best that it can.Neil Martin - 31/12/2015
