The 1991 Meursault-Narvaux is reminiscent of Chardonnay nectar. The amazingly intense nose of grilled hazelnuts, honeyed apples and oranges, is followed by an unctuously textured, superbly defined, rich, highly concentrated wine with exquisite balance and amazing richness and power. Tasted blind, most would think this is from a top white burgundy vintage such as 1989 or 1986. Some remarkable 1991 white burgundies were produced by Lalou Bize-Leroy. Yields averaged only 9 hectoliters per hectare in her Chardonnay vineyards and alcohol levels averaged 13.5%. These wines will be the longest-lived whites of the 1991 vintage. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA.
