Latour only used indigenous yeasts when crafting his excellent Meursault Narvaux (cultured yeasts were employed for all his other wines). It exhibits a rich, expansive and mineral-laced nose followed by a well-focused, ripe, medium-bodied, and velvety textured core of minerals, nuts, pears, and oak spices. Projected maturity: 1999-2004. The score, noted on a range and in parentheses, indicates that the wine was tasted from barrel. Readers need to search out these offerings as they offer superb values for outstanding white Burgundies. Congratulations to Jean-Pierre Latour for the great strides his wines have made in such a short time!
