Antonio Galloni, October 2021, Score: 86-88
The 2020 Meursault Les Narvaux has an attractive nose with white peach and a touch of albumen, nicely defined if not overly complex. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, quite strict on the entry, though it does not quite "kick on" towards the finish. 86-88. Drink 2024-2032.

William Kelley, January 2023, Score: 93
A terrific effort, the 2020 Meursault Les Narvaux unwinds in the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, hazelnuts, white flowers and light reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with racy acids, excellent depth at the core and a long, saline finish, this can go head to head with the appellation's élite. 93. Drink 2025-2045.
Region
Meursault
Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
