The 1989 Meursault-Desiree exhibits crisp acidity, a beautiful nose of tropical fruit, stones, and spices, and a textbook, rich, luscious finish. Approachable now, it will be at its best in 12-18 months, and should evolve for up to a decade. Meursault yields for the Comte Lafon in 1989 were a minuscule 25 hectoliters per hectare. In high yield years, the wines of the Comte Lafon are usually among the most concentrated in Burgundy. From this readers can extrapolate the kind of intensity levels one is dealing with in a vintage such as 1989. Dominique Lafon, who is now in complete charge in the cellars, has continued to move toward a more organic style of winemaking. He has eliminated all fertilizers except for manure, uses minimum amounts of sulphur, and bottles his Meursault unfiltered. If you have the requisite discretionary income, these Meursaults are must purchases. Importer: Classic Wines, Brookline, MA.
