Tasting Notes
Vinous 89-91
(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?

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.

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.
