The 2022 Olivier Leflaive Meursault Narvaux is a refined Chardonnay from the steep, east-facing Narvaux Dessous and Narvaux Gorges vineyards, situated above the celebrated Premier Crus Genevrières and Poruzots. It offers delicate aromas of white peach, pear and citrus, complemented by acacia blossom, toasted almond, subtle oak and a fine chalky note.
On the palate, it combines Meursault’s characteristic richness with elegance and restraint. Ripe orchard fruit and gentle nuttiness are balanced by fresh acidity and stony tension, while the élevage contributes a smooth, lightly creamy texture. The finish is dry, structured and persistent, suggesting further complexity with bottle age.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a beautifully balanced Meursault with richness, mineral definition and understated oak. Allow it to breathe for 30 minutes and serve at 11–13°C, or cellar through 2030 and beyond. Ideal with grilled sea bass, lobster, roast chicken, mushroom risotto, turkey ballotine or Beaufort cheese.
