Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 86
The 2015 Meursault Les Narvaux has an upfront, quite extroverted bouquet with marzipan and nutmeg-tinged citrus fruit, a little raucous but there is nothing wrong with that. The palate is well balanced with orange cordial and tangerine notes, nicely balanced, although I feel that the warmth of the growing season just shaved away a little definition on the finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2017-2022

Cask sample. Fresh and friendly. Easy and open. Not the density of some of Pierre-Yves top appellations but a very good ambassador for the style.

(Colin picked this fruit on the fourth day of the harvest, which he described as "possibly a bit late"): Strong white peach and nectarine aromas accented by anise and white pepper. More plump and sweet than most of the preceding wines from Chassagne and Puligny, and a bit warm in spite of the fact that its alcohol is not quite 13%. Nicely concentrated, and lifted by a peppery nuance (and some CO2), but doesn’t quite come alive today. Will this show more personality by the time it goes into bottle?
