"Lalou Bize's 2011 Meursault Narvaux takes hold of all the senses and never lets up. An utterly mesmerizing wine, the 2011 boasts extraordinary purity and depth. Today it tastes like a wine right out of tank, such is its intensity and power. With time in the glass, hints of apricot and slate emerge, but the Narvaux is first and foremost a wine of texture. The explosive, mineral-drenched finish is a perfect foil to the voluptuous fruit. What a fabulous wine this is."
