COMMENTARY: Over the years, I have not come across many Meursault Les Narvaux. I was pleasingly surprised as I tasted the 2016 Yves Boyer-Martenot recently. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows enticing aromas and flavors of ripe core fruits with a subtle yet persistent accent of hazelnuts. Pair it with grilled chicken thighs with a shaving of toasted almonds in a lightly-accent cream sauce. (Tasted: March 18, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

Rich and full of peach, spiced apple, honey and lemon cake flavors. Vibrant and mouthwatering, with a citrus and spice aftertaste. Shows lovely harmony. Drink now through 2023. 150 cases imported.

The Domaine has in total 10 hectares of vineyards spread across various locations of the Côte de Beaune including Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses and Pommard. From 1997 to 2007 the Domaine acquired more parcels of land giving them a wider selection of appellations including Meursault "Les Tillets", Meursault 1er Cru "Les Perrieres", and Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Le Cailleret".
The vines and soil give the wine its great quality which is why it is important to manage them with both respect and care. To ensure that the wine produced is of high quality, traditional methods are used involving little or no product (sprays, chemicals, etc.) soil cultivation, crop care, green harvest, and hand picking. Using these old fashioned methods and less machinery allows for the wines to develop naturally which means they are very similar to organic wine making, however they don't have the 'Bio' label.
