From the first lift of the glass, this Montrachet Grand Cru 2022 from Domaine des Comtes Lafon feels like a lavish, glowing tapestry of orchard fruit, citrus zest, subtle spice and creamy nuttiness, all shot through with a cool, stony edge. On the palate it is both hedonistic and finely chiseled: layers of ripe apple, peach and candied citrus glide over a dense, satin texture, kept perfectly in check by vivid acidity. The finish just keeps humming along, leaving a resonant trail of fruit, mineral and gentle oak that underlines how complete and grand this vintage really is.
