Tasting notes
Reviewed by: James Suckling
Aromas of lemon peel, white flowers and struck match lead to a high-tension, racy and elusive palate. This has saline, minerals and citrus with a nervy finish. One of the best village-level sites, Les Narvaux punches well above its weight, showing a power and tension that rival premier cru vineyards. Excellent. Drink or hold.
