Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Revealing aromas of crisp orchard fruit, sweet citrus oil, freshly baked bread and youthful reduction, Lafon's 2021 Meursault Les Narvaux is medium to full-bodied, taut and concentrated, with a sweet core of fruit underpinned by tangy acids and chalky structuring extract.
