Meursault 'les Narvaux'
These wonderful soils were highlighted by the Cîteaux’s monks from 1098. While keeping its characteristics of traditional French village by its commitment to the land, and more especially to the vine, Meursault learns to fit in, over the centuries, the technical, economic and commercial demands. This explains, in part, the great popularity of Meursault wines today: what Chardonnay does best in Côte de Beaune!

Ageing potential: 3 to 10 years
Serving temperature: 12 to 14°C
2015

Ageing potential: 3 to 10 years
Serving temperature: 12 to 14°C
2019
This is a perfect example of the famous Narvaux vineyard balancing the lushness of fruit with the crispness of acidity, and it is certainly the finest Narvaux I can remember. It is all too easy to drink, and I feel this is a forward style and a Chardonnay that will show at its best in its youth. There is nothing like tension and energy to heighten the enjoyment of perfectly ripe fruit.
