2022 Meursault Les Narvaux, Domaine Ballot-Millot

2022 Meursault Les Narvaux, Domaine Ballot-Millot

Charles Ballot’s Narvaux sits in a sweet-spot for Burgundy buyers. It has the character, definition, energy and complexity far above a village wine, yet a price that falls well below that of a premier cru. This makes it a very smart purchase. Furthermore, Narvaux is acknowledged as one of Meursault’s finest lieux-dits. It has a racy, luscious vitality in 2022: both ample and energetic. Exactly how we like our Meursault.

Tasting notes

Clear pale lemon and lime. This has a more chiselled mineral nose despite the slightly higher alcohol here. Charles used to pick his Narvaux late but it is now near the front of the queue. A ripe generous fruit on the palate, not heavy but certainly sunny, all white fruit and the limestone minerals continue to shine through. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted: October 2023.
