Clos de la Barre is a historic monopole of Domaine des Comtes Lafon, situated just below the village of Meursault and owned by the Lafon family since the domaine’s early years. Although classified at village level, the enclosed vineyard has long been one of the domaine’s emblematic sites, producing a characteristically broad yet mineral expression of Meursault. With the 2011 now well into maturity, the emphasis has shifted from primary fruit towards developed complexity, with nutty, savoury and gently honeyed notes emerging alongside the wine’s underlying freshness. A particularly interesting bottle for those wishing to experience mature white Bourgogne from one of Meursault’s benchmark domaines.
