"Dominique Lafon’s 2007 Meursault “Perrières” is really starting to blossom at age five and shows absolutely superb potential for a long life in bottle. The beautiful nose offers up a complex mélange of apple, orange zest, iodine, kaleidoscopic minerality, almonds, spring flowers and a nice touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and suave, with a lovely core of fruit, ripe acids, exquisite focus and absolutely superb length and grip on the racy and laser-like finish. At age five, it is far from a crime to open a bottle of the 2007 Perrières, as the wine is really starting to blossom, but if the angry premox gods are willing, this wine will last an extremely long time in bottle. A great wine."
