The vines average around 40 years of age, and the site’s position helps retain freshness and natural acidity while developing the richness characteristic of Meursault. Les Narvaux has long been regarded as one of the standout village-level sites of the appellation, capable of producing wines with complexity approaching Premier Cru quality. The 2023 combines ripe Chardonnay fruit with pronounced mineral character and an elegant, structured profile. It is expressive yet finely balanced, with the concentration and persistence expected from this distinguished vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvesting is carried out manually with selection in the vineyard before the grapes are gently crushed and pneumatically pressed. Following a light settling, the must is transferred to 228-litre French oak barrels, around 15% of which are new, where alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place using indigenous yeasts and bacteria. The wine then matures on fine lees for approximately 18 months without bâtonnage, allowing texture and complexity to build while preserving the wine’s mineral definition. About a month before bottling, the individual barrels are racked into tank, followed by light fining and filtration, with bottling conducted according to the lunar and biodynamic calendar. The resulting Meursault is layered and energetic, marrying ripe orchard fruit, citrus and floral notes with a distinctly stony mineral backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh, complex and mineral\u003cbr\u003eSliced apple, pear and citrus are joined by yellow fruit, delicate white flowers and subtle flinty mineral nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Sleek, concentrated and finely structured\u003cbr\u003eMedium-bodied Chardonnay with ripe orchard and citrus fruit, lively acidity and a beautifully textured mineral core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, dry and persistent\u003cbr\u003eCitrus, orchard fruit and stony minerality linger through a clean, energetic finish with impressive tension and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A fresh, cool and airy nose freely reveals its aromas of just sliced apple and pear and plenty of citrus influence. The super-sleek and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors also flash ample minerality on the youthfully austere, clean and agreeably dry finale where a touch of youthful austere eventually emerges. This is also very good and worth your interest.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Allen Meadows, Burghound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Domaine Vincent Girardin\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Meursault\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2023\u003cbr\u003eABV - 14%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eClassification - Village\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Vincent Girardin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44614661472343,"sku":"VIN-GIR-MEUR-NARV-23","price":259.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/d03663e3-0a5e-458d-97c4-eb953117ddfb.webp?v=1793852748","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-vincent-girardin-meursault-les-narvaux-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
