Burgundy is renowned for its exceptional wines, and the 2022 Meursault 'Les Narvaux' by David Moret is a stellar example of this rich tradition. David Moret, a micro-négociant based in Beaune, has garnered attention for his meticulous craft, having established his label in 2000 by sourcing grapes from select top growers. His commitment to quality is evident in every bottle, as he employs indigenous yeasts for fermentation and opts for minimal intervention by bottling without fining or filtration.

The 'Les Narvaux' vineyard contributes to the distinct character of this wine, known for producing mineral-driven and structured Chardonnay. Moret's use of oak is thoughtfully balanced, utilising around 20% new oak for his Villages wines, and increasing to 40% for the more prestigious Premier and Grand Cru variants. The 2022 vintage of this Meursault D.O.C. benefited from a unique climatic pattern, marked by a cold and wet winter that delayed budburst. This protective condition against spring frost, followed by the intensity of four summer heatwaves, led to a remarkably early harvest.
The experience culminates in a vibrant finish driven by acidity, ensuring a refreshing aftertaste.
