Meursault Narvaux, Vincent Girardin 2020

A terrific effort, the 2020 Meursault Les Narvaux unwinds in the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, hazelnuts, white flowers and light reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with racy acids, excellent depth at the core and a long, saline finish, this can go head to head with the appellation's élite. Drink 2025-2045.

Clean pale fresh colour. The bouquet is a little more backward but suggests some density to follow. The 2020 Narvaux starts discreetly but delivers a huge volume of fruit at the finish, which has retained its vivacity. A feeling of more layers to come out with further time in bottle. Drink from 2026-2032. 4 stars.
