Les Narvaux Meursault Chardonnay

Lovely lush fruit. Great acidity and balance. Some tropical hints.

Fresh and bright. Rocks, greengage, lime. Crystalline and slightly saline. Refreshing and dynamic.

Physically Distanced 🚧 but Socially Close 🤗 2020 Independence Day Party 🇺🇲 🥳 with several members of our Tastevin crew.🍷 Proof that our palates are wider than Burgundy, outside of sanctioned events.🍾
Notes may be light, scores will be honest. 💯🦄

So much SO2 at first, this needed a full day open to blow off. Subtle nose of wet stone, some pomaceous fruit, SO2. You could argue its flawed given the perceptible sulphur. With air and vigorous aeration it slowly unwinded and blew off. Palate is gorgeous though, it is taut with a defined sensibility to it. Lemon peel, orange zest, ripe pear, white peach, orchard blossom, crushed flint and chalk, hazelnut, popcorn, and an ever so slight touch of vanilla and spice on the long finish. A thread of reduction no surprise there. Plenty of top-of-the slope character with racy acid and mineral backbone. I find it rather finessed all in all. Would love to revisit in 5-8 years.

Fruity and floral. Sulfur whiff.Lots of life. Melon, lemon, I’m guessing white burg. Steeliness of puligny. It’s PYCM. Makes total sense. Lovely

The holidays are great aren’t they!!??

Citrus, lemon zest, peach stone, wet stone, white pepper, dusty minerality, lingering finish.

Rounded polished fruit with hints of honey, chalk, and bright lime acidity. Lovely mouthfeel and a decent finish. Very good.

Lovely presence and intensity, great density and less sulfur than I was expecting from such a young wine from Pierre-Yves.

PYMC whites never disappoint.
