Clean pure yellow. The bouquet is over and above the Charmes. Juniper and verbena, depth and poise, concentration without heaviness. Then a pure white fruit with appropriate flesh. Not just intensity on the palate but depth of flavour as well. It is true that they are beautifully placed with their large plot of Genevrières Dessus, but even so, chapeau! Oak is present but perfectly integrated. Given the summer, I never imagined we would be able to achieve this freshness, this detail! Tasted: 10/1/2021.

Two six ouvrée plots top and bottom. Mid yellow, the bouquet is a little softer and the oak has a vanilla touch rather than toasty. Starts reasonably quietly but kicks on with real force behind, and then finishes on the lime-citrus acidity of the vintage, suggesting a lightly salted Rose’s lime juice. Fair intensity and persistence. Tasted: 10/1/2021.--Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
2020 Domaine Latour-Giraud Meursault Narvaux

$89.89 - (ETA 30 Days) Buy Now
From the upper part of Les Gorges de Narvaux. Mid lemon colour, a little biscuit on the nose, wood reduction, again it is hyper-concentrated, with dense ripe lemon fruit, some acidity. A little bit harder to pull together today. Possibly less intensity than the village Meursault, though with a nice tingle behind. Very pure. Tasted: 10/1/2021.--Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
