Montrachet Grand Cru 2008 Vintage Overview

2008 OVERVIEW

Intensity hits first: Domaine des Comtes Lafon Montrachet Grand Cru 2008 surges across the palate with immense depth, framed by vivid acidity that keeps all that richness precise and vertical. Subtle smokiness and creamy oak fold into a saline, almost sea‑air edge, giving a tactile, layered finish that seems to go on and on, more opulent than 2007 yet still etched and tightly controlled.

About Montrachet Grand Cru

Montrachet Grand Cru from Domaine des Comtes Lafon is the tiny, crown-jewel white of this famed Meursault estate, sourced from just 0.32 hectares of old-vine Chardonnay at the southern end of Le Montrachet in Puligny-Montrachet. Farmed organically and biodynamically and aged long in oak, it is renowned for combining monumental richness and depth with electric balance, expressing the dark, deep rocky soils of this exceptional grand cru in wines of great texture, complexity, and longevity.
