Ballot Millot Meursault Les Narvaux 2023

$15999

Les Narvaux sits just above the celebrated 1er Crus of Les Genevrieres and Poruzots, a village lieu-dit so well-sited that many consider it premier-cru in everything but classification. The Ballot-Millot vines here are 45 to 60 years old, and Charles Ballot's tensile, Roulot-influenced touch turns them into something that feels much grander than its label suggests. Saline, lime-focused, with a hint of vanilla and a long briny finish. One of the great deals in upper-tier Meursault.

"A deft application of wood is present on the cooler nose that features prominent petrol nuances on the aromas of acacia blossom and mineral reduction. Once again there is excellent density to the succulent but punchy and powerful flavors that exude an almost aggressive stoniness on the sappy and balanced finale. This is a very fine Meursault villages and worth your interest."

"The 2023 Meursault Les Narvaux has a taut, mineral nose, leaning slightly towards Puligny in style with light smoky scents in the background. The palate is fresh and vibrant, beautifully balanced with a slightly creamy texture. And yet, there is tension here, with irresistible yellow plum and lemon curd scents on the finish. Recommended." —Neal Martin

More about Ballot Millot

Ballot-Millot et Fils is an outstanding domaine in Meursault with phenomenal holdings in the village's top crus, Charles Ballot is producing precise, tensile, racy yet exuberant wines. There is very little new oak used. These are modern white Burgundies, they are transparent and reflect their respective terroirs.

Charles has been in charge of the farming, winemaking, and cellar work since 2001. His grandparents started the domaine, and he inherited additional vines from his mother, who is related to the Lochardet-Dancer family. He farms according to lutte raisonnée — he works as organically as he can without sacrificing the crop. New oak is limited to 15% for village wines and up to 25% for the premier crus. The wines are bottled after about 16 months in barrel.
