Pascal Clément Meursault Narvaux 2017

Meursault, Côte de Beaune, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceBorn into a family of growers and winemakers, Pascal had more than 20 vintages working experience in Bourgogne before he started his own project in 2012. Based in Savigny-les-Beaune, where he owns a half hectare organic vineyard, he farms 10 ha across 29 appellations in Bourgogne for his wines. 80% of his production is white wine, a passion honed by his years of winemaking at Coche Dury, amongst others. He farms with no chemicals, does native ferment in older, larger barrels, employs MLF, and never uses bâttonage in his wines, leaving them on full lees after pressing. From the cooler pocket Narvaux, this grows on white marl and limestone soils. Tight lemon, lemon peel, green apple, anise on this vibrant, salty mineral-driven, flint licked, Meursault. Meursault's generosity is evident on the palate, but the fine, grippy sides hold this tight and narrow through the lingering finish.Tasted: 21 April 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
