The 2017 'Les Narvaux' Meursault from Pierre-Yves is absolutely brilliant. As this gorgeous wine slowly unwinds in the glass it begins to release its beautiful and utterly captivating aromatics of fresh sliced pear, lemon peel, hazelnut, honeysuckle, vanilla blossoms and crushed stones which all work extremely well together. On the palate this shows incredible depth along with a gorgeous texture which is framed by wonderful minerality and bright acidity. Displaying remarkable purity and precision, this is a simply stunning Meursault that continues to improve with each second in the glass and it should go on to drink beautifully for many years to come. It will be hard to resist this beauty in its youth, so if approaching this early it would be recommended to allow this some air contact or even a short decant. The Chardonnay was sourced from 40+ year old vines on the Puligny side of Meursault.
