Brought up in 30% new French oak with the same method of moving half the blend to concrete eggs after a year, the 2017 Meursault Les Narvaux has a rich, pure nose of honeyed orchard fruits, white flowers, charcoal, and some spice-like aromas and flavors. It too is rich, medium to full-bodied, and seamless on the palate, with flawless balance.

A classic Meursault nose is comprised by notes of hazelnut, white orchard fruit and soft floral and citrus nuances. There is more volume and richness to the delicious medium weight flavors that possess obvious minerality that really comes up as the markedly dry, complex and persistent finish. This isn't as refined but it's more complete and overall, this is a very impressive Meursault villages and well worth checking out.

(88-90) Nose dominated by lemon and stone. Less tight than the Charrons but still a bit skinny for its spine of acidity, offering very good delineation and juicy pineappley cut. This wine began a little edgy but harmonized somewhat with time in the glass, finishing with sneaky rising length. -- Stephen Tanzer
