"The 2008 Lafon Perrières will be a stellar example of the vintage. The nose is very deep and very reticent (as a young Perrières should be in a top vintage), but with a bit of coaxing offers up a complex blend of grapefruit, orange, apple, spring flowers, citrus zest and kaleidoscopic minerality. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and tightly-wound, with a rock solid core of fruit, brisk acids, laser-like focus and stunning length and grip on the youthful and racy finish. A great wine in the making."

The Cote de Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
