The 2015 horizontal at this offer’s center opens welcome space for a few thoughts from a late 2024 wine dinner.
We opened two 2015 Lafon whites (‘Charmes,’ ‘Gouttes d’Or’) that evening. Both were utterly delicious yet our group discussion pressed on how persuasively each captured its vineyard’s indigenous uniqueness. Many 2015s, tasted as producer horizontals, melt into a soft, generic placenessness. Lafon’s stand at strict attention and announce their origins with proud eloquence.
Cheers,
Jason
