The Meursault Narvaux displays an oak-imbued and rich white fruit-laden nose. This massive, thick, chewy, and medium-to-full-bodied offering is crammed with expansive metal, mineral, and hazelnut flavors. When I asked Mme. Bize how she had been able to obtain this level of unbelievable ripeness and superb balance she said "there are no secrets, yields and respecting the vine as well as nature." This beauty should be at its peak between 2001 and 2008. Importers: Martine's Wines, Inc., San Rafael, CA; tel (415) 485-1800.

This has an intriguing olive, smoke and matchstick character. Tastes really ripe at first, with exotic tropical fruit and freshly cut grass. Turns very acidic in a mouthpuckering way. Best from 2002 through 2010.??–PM??Region: France / Burgundy / Meursault Select to Add
