Ballot Millot Meursault Narvaux 2019 (750ML)

91-93 JM / 90 BH

Pale primrose, exotic nose with some honeysuckle, but it is lifted and delicious at the same time, headily exciting. Not without a fresher aspect behind, though. Excellent tension at the back of the palate, driven, and very long. This certainly feels like a 1er cru and a good one. Tasted: October 2020 —Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Tasting note: A cooler and more elegant if more restrained nose reflects notes of petrol along with plenty of citrus and floral elements. There is even better volume and intensity to the attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that flash even more minerality on the youthfully austere finale. This relatively powerful effort is clearly in need of at least some patience. Recommended.Outstanding. Allen Meadows, Burghound
