Vinous: 91-93 Points
The 2022 Meursault Les Narvaux comes from three different plots. The almost clinical bouquet offers lemon thyme and crushed limestone tightly wound initially but focused and opening with time. The palate has a powerful entry perhaps thanks to the age of the vines - a majority 45 years old with some octogenarians. The acidity is perfectly judged with a touch of spice enhancing the refined finish. Very promising. (Drink between 2026-2038)
Burghound: 90-93 Points
A cooler and much more reserved nose somewhat grudgingly reflects notes of green apple lemon mineral reduction and acacia blossom hints. Once again there is a lovely texture to the overtly stony and precise middleweight flavors that exhibit excellent length on the clean and markedly dry finale. This is a classic Narvaux and while it's not especially refined it is exceptionally good for its level. Buy it. (Drink starting 2030)
Jasper Morris: 90-92 Points
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.
