Displaying smoky nut scents and excellent richness, the Meursault Narvaux is a wide, medium-to-full-bodied, oily, and yet refined and precise wine jam-packed with lemons, minerals, and sweet pears. Its powerful flavors linger on the palate for close to 30 seconds. Projected maturity: 2000-2005. The rating, with the range of scores in parentheses, indicates the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle.
Pierre Morey and his assistant, Christophe Chauvel, have fashioned a first rate line up of 1996 whites .
