Meursault, Narvaux, 2024

Pierre’s section of this wonderful site is the special Gorge de Narvaux where there’s a high proportion of flint in the soils and the nose has the clacking quality of gunflint running through it. The practice of taking all the good lees from each site to barrel (to better faithfully represent each site) means here, with the smaller berries, there’s a greater influence from those lees and more reduction as a result. Salty, textured, complex and savoury, with layers of mineral complexity and excellent concentration (small berries again) and focus. Highly impressive.
