Comtes Lafon Monthélie 1er cru Les Duresses 2022

91-93 points/'Five Star Wine,' Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A fine mid purple. A lovely luscious ripe red fruit, raspberry especially, but so welcoming. Beautiful balance, with just the ripe tannins, though quite low acidity. From racked barrel more precision. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted Oct 2023."

90-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.06 ha holding). A brooding nose grudgingly offers up an array of various dark berries and pungent newly turned earth scents. The rich, concentrated and velvet-textured middleweight flavors possess evident minerality that adds a sense of lift to the balanced, youthfully austere and age-worthy finish. Worth a look. Drink: 2029+. (Apr 2024)"
