This 'little brother of Perrières' is one of the signatures of Girardin. It is produced from 50% Narvaux Dessous, 30% Gorge de Narvaux and 20% Chaume de Narvaux; each picked separately, with Dessous being the first and Chaume last as it is the coldest. This has an enchanting nose of ginger, white pepper and wood spice, while there is plenty of extract here and a powerful structure. A marvellous wine for its level. ... More details

90-92 The 2019 Meursault Les Narvaux comes from three parcels, two owned by Girardin and the third purchased grapes. Taken from barrel, it has a backward, tightly wound bouquet with touches of vervain tea infusing the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced, offering mandarin and apricot on the entry. Good weight and decent freshness here, even if it is missing the je ne sais quoi of this vineyard's finest exponents.

Aromatic and well-defined, this white reveals lemon and apple flavors, with flourishes of vanilla and baking spice. Though vibrant and precise, this has a harmonious, elegant feel, too. Nutty finish. Drink now through 2027. 530 cases made, 300 cases imported.

89-91 Here too a discreet dollop of wood sets off notes of hazelnut, pear, floral scents and a touch of cool lemon-lime. There is again fine volume and excellent intensity to the mineral-suffused medium-bodied flavors that aren't quite as refined but offer almost as much depth and persistence. Worth checking out.
Winery
A flattering wine, nicely balanced with white flower aromas, a nose of almond and a long finish. A wine with an opulent aromatic register, which when young is mainly oriented towards flint. Lively mouth full of complexity, a very elegant wine. It is one of the best climates in Meursault village.

Varietal: Chardonnay

Despite having its origins in western France, Chardonnay's immense popularity and flexibility quickly meant that before long, there wasn't a wine producing country in the world which wasn't investing in this fascinating and versatile grape varietal. Today, Chardonnays manage to win fine wine competitions and satisfy supermarket shoppers simultaneously, due to the fact that this grape varietal can take on many characteristics and features of where it is grown and how it is handled. Indeed, this green skinned grape is renowned for not having so much unique flavor within the fruit, but is very sensitive to the features of the terroir it is grown in, as well as to aging As such, it isn't unusual to find bottles of single variety Chardonnay wine described as holding notes of white stone, mountain waters, or other such geological features alongside the more predictable fruit descriptions This makes Chardonnay grape varietal wines an exciting world to delve into – full of surprises, full of delights.

Region: Burgundy

The region of Burgundy has become synonymous with high quality red wines, but in actual fact the region consistently produces a wide variety of fine wines of many different styles, rigorously protected by French wine laws designed to keep reputations and quality at a very high level. The region benefits greatly from a warm and sunny summer climate, which, coupled with the excellent quality soils which typify the region, and centuries of experience and expertise, has led to the region being known all over the world for the excellence of its produce. The majority of grapevines grown here are of the Pinot Noir varietal, which has helped Burgundy become known as the definitive region for elegant and smooth red wines, but Chardonnay grapes and many others are also grown in abundance and used to make both still and sparkling wines.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.

Appellation: Cote De Beaune

Anyone who knows anything about fine white wines, and especially fine Chardonnay wines, will surely tell you that there is nowhere on earth quite as impressive as Cote De Beaune when it comes to this particular grape varietal. This beautiful part of the Cote d'Or has been producing many of the world's finest Chardonnay wines for centuries, and their blend of traditional and modern techniques mean that their reputation has been upheld and maintained in the twenty-first century. However, it isn't all about white wine in Cote De Beaune, as the area also produces vast amounts of characterful and interesting red wines, predominantly made from the Pinot Noir grape. Cote De Beaune Pinot Noir tends to be lighter and fruitier than others, and absolutely delicious.
