Lot #48. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Meursault Les Narvaux 2010

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 93 AG.
"If forced to choose an appellation where Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey excels above the others, it might very well be Meursault, and the 2010 Meursault Narvaux is a great example of that. The 2010 boasts striking purity from start to finish. Layers of precise, crystalline fruit caress the palate in this intense, beautifully perfumed wine. The deep, resonant finish leaves a lasting impression. Frankly, it is hard to move on from here . . . . Pierre-Yves Colin and Caroline Morey follow their stunning 2009s with an equally compelling set of 2010s. The 2010s have deep site-specific signatures, rich fruit and plenty of acidity. Fans of this small, but increasingly high profile address will want to flock to these wines. Pierre-Yves Colin started picking on September 22. Yields were down just 5-10%, which is pretty remarkable considering the vintage. It was a difficult vintage in the cellar, as malos were late and slow. When I visited last June, virtually all of the wines were still finishing their malos. With the exception of the St. Aubins, the 2010s spent about 18 months in barrel. The St. Aubins were bottled in November 2011. All of the other 2010s were bottled in April 2012. The 2011s, which I tasted from barrel, are very promising, so there is a lot to look forward to."
