The 2023 Domaine Guy Bocard Meursault 'Narvaux' is a beautifully mineral-driven Chardonnay from the renowned Les Narvaux lieu-dit, perched high on the slopes above Meursault. This elevated, limestone-rich vineyard produces a fresher, more tensile style of Meursault. Wild fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 12 months in seasoned French oak on fine lees, the wine opens with vibrant aromas of lemon zest, white peach and citrus blossom, layered with flint and chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity, fine texture and impressive mineral precision. Bright citrus and orchard fruit are complemented by subtle lees richness and a saline edge, leading to a long, elegant finish with exceptional freshness and balance. Refined and age-worthy, this is a superb expression of Meursault that combines purity, energy and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Domaine Guy Bocard Meursault 'Narvaux' is an excellent partner for lobster, scallops, roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes or mature Comté. Enjoy now with a short decant, or cellar confidently through 2036 as it develops greater complexity and depth.
