Latour-Giraud Meursault Narvaux 2019 (750ML)

91 JM / 90-92 BH

A little more primrose in the colour, with some weight of fruit, not quite the excitement I was hoping for but possibly dampened by the recent bottling. On the palate the expected concentration kicks in, tightly wound, some citrus notes in with ripe apple and a little bit of plum. Don’t be in a hurry for this. Very slight passion fruit aromatics. Slightly between two stools at the moment. Les Narvaux makes Jean-Pierre think of Meursault Perrières at village level. Tasted: February 2021 –Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Tasting note: A more elegant combination consists of cool citrus and airy floral nuances along with apple, poached pear and a whiff of exotic tea. The delicious, racy and impressively concentrated medium-bodied flavors that display excellent power on the compact, mineral driven and beautifully long finale. This is a really good Meursault villages that should age gracefully for up to a decade. Outstanding. Top Value --Allen Meadows, Burghound
