Product Description
The 2023 Meursault “Narvaux” from Domaine Philippe Chavy is a beautifully focused and energetic white Burgundy from one of the village’s most prized lieux-dits. Perched above the Premier Cru climats of Meursault, “Narvaux” benefits from rocky limestone soils and high elevation, yielding wines with tension, purity, and vibrant minerality.
Philippe Chavy, known for his precise and terroir-expressive style, vinifies this cuvée with native yeasts and ages it in French oak barrels (about 20% new). The result is a Chardonnay of striking balance—combining ripe orchard fruit with chalky structure and finesse.
