Score 16.5/20 · Drink 1993-2005, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2015

This wine may once have been glorious and charming but by 2015 its various components were falling apart so that the whole is now rather jagged and incomplete. (JR)

I thought the 1985 Domaine des Comtes de Lafon Meursault-Charmes was beautiful for its precision, elegance and overall sense of balance. Seamless from start to finish, it was the most complete and compelling wine of this grouping.

Deeper color. Complex, high-pitched smoky, resiny nose hints at lemon and minerals. Minerally and dense, with surprising acidity giving the wine good brightness. Lovely balance for the vintage. On the lean side but quite stylish. The '95 vintage was better than my own winemaking at the time, admits Lafon.
