Tasting notes
The 2019 Meursault Narvaux (Domaine Louis Jadot) has fleshed out with further élevage, wafting from the glass with notes of clear honey, ripe stone fruits and buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, rich and enveloping, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish, it's fleshier and more muscular than I had anticipated from barrel.

A really delightful Meursault! Very pure, ripe-pear nose with just a hint of exotic fruit. All the generosity of this appellation, combined with good concentration and vibrant acidity, which make this invigorating at the long, very straight finish. Drink or hold.
The 2019 Meursault Narvaux is fragrant and much better defined on the nose compared to the Les Forges, the honeysuckle, flint and light white flower aromas gently unfolding in the glass. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, quite tensile and focused. Touches of lemon curd and white chocolate furnish the finish. Narvaux is a great vineyard, and that shows through here. This should age the best out of Jadot’s Meursault Village Crus.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
