Description
The grapes for this wine are sourced from three vineyards that each reflect the nuanced differences in soil types. The Narvaux vineyard, which provides most of the grapes, is on a steep slope and planted in gravelly limestone soils. The Crotots vineyard is predominantly clay with a limestone base and some gravels. The Grand Charrons is very gravelly with limestone and clay and very fertile alluvium soils. The resulting wine will be an elegant, floral, vibrant expression of Meursault, with delicately applied oak.

Tasting Notes
An equally ripe and fresh nose offers up notes of toasted hazelnut, acacia blossom and ripe pear. The much sleeker and more intense medium weight flavors flash evident minerality on the bone-dry, citrusy and sneaky long finish. This is lovely and very refreshing plus it should reward mid-term cellaring. Drink date: 2025+. Outstanding. Score - 89-91. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, June 10, 2020)
