When it comes to Meursault, Lafon has few peers.
You'd have to look towards Coche and Roulot. In recent vintages, it's become clear that Lafon is at the top of his game.

It's well known that Lafon's village bottlings transcend the category by a wide margin, and the 2020 Clos de la Baronne highlights this.
Clos de la Baronne is a 2.7-ha monopole that includes 40-year-old vines. The 2020 is another great example of how Lafon thrives in warmer vintages.
As Burghound points out, the 2020 is tension-filled and very precise. It combines intensity with lift. The wine is seamlessly integrated and has high-toned punchy minerality.
Lafon has long sat at the pinnacle of white Burgundy, and that makes the fact that they are currently producing some of their greatest wines all the more extraordinary. Lately, I'm amazed each time that I open a bottle of Lafon. The 2020 Clos de la Baronne is a testament to the incredible wine that this domaine is turning out. I'm very happy to offer at the lowest price around.

Burghound: "A moderately fruity nose offers up its array of floral, citrus and roasted nut scents. There is unusually good underlying tension to the nicely detailed and delicious middle weight flavors that conclude in an attractively dry and refreshing finale."
