Maison Morey-Blanc
2009 Meursault Les Narvaux
Though Narvaux does not have Cru status, it is one of the best lieux-dits of Meursault Village. This Chardonnay is seductive, nicely balanced and long in the mouth, with a discernable minerality that will tame over time.
Some oaked Chardonnays lose balance, but this one has managed to stay on the tightrope. There is no flab, just delicious Granny Smith apple, vanilla, and hints of burnt caramel. Great acidity and toastiness on the finish suggest an excellent pairing with roasted meats.
Food pairing: Roasted chicken
