From old vines in a prized single-vineyard site, it captures the richness, texture, and mineral precision that define top white Burgundy. The 2003 vintage adds a riper, more generous profile, while the wine’s pedigree ensures classic structure and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a golden, mature hue. The bouquet is expansive and complex, with aromas of white pepper, spice, lilies, butter, candied pear, spiced apple, and honeyed minerals. On the palate it is harmonious and layered, with a light to medium body, a creamy, toasty texture, and a long finish shaped by both ripe fruit and savory mineral tension.\n\nAt its peak now, the 2003 Clos de la Barre is best enjoyed for its mature complexity rather than cellared further. While it has likely moved through its ideal drinking window, well-stored bottles may still offer satisfying depth and nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos de la Barre is one of the most important vineyard sites in Meursault, and Comtes Lafon works it with the meticulous vineyard care that has made the estate famous. The domaine farms organically and follows biodynamic principles, with low yields and careful attention to vine health and balance. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified with a focus on preserving site character, texture, and natural concentration, resulting in wines that are both powerful and precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis mature Meursault is an excellent match for rich seafood dishes such as lobster, turbot, or scallops, as well as roast poultry, veal, and mushroom-based dishes. It also works beautifully with creamy sauces and fine aged cheeses. Serve at around 12°C, and decanting is optional but can help open the wine if it has been resting in bottle for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine des Comtes Lafon, based in Meursault, has been a reference point for top Burgundy since its establishment in 1869 by the Boch family.
