Pascal Clément Meursault Narvaux 2016
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 bâtonnage in his wines, leaving them on full lees after pressing. From the cooler pocket of Narvaux, on white marl and limestone soils, this fuller wine has stunning ample cut, with tight green apple, crystalline lemon, and quartz chiseling through lemon curd and fresh hazelnuts on the streamline palate, finishing with ample salinity. This is such a pristine wine now, with focus atypical of the appellation, but which speaks to the site. Striking drinking now.Tasted: 29 January 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $98.00 | 750ml | consignment |
