Remi Jobard Meursault Les Narvaux 2023

Rémi Jobard Meursault Les Narvaux 2023 is a precision-crafted white Burgundy that captures the energy and finesse of one of Meursault’s most coveted lieux-dits. Perched high on the slope above the village, Les Narvaux is known for producing wines with a striking mineral backbone and crystalline focus. In Jobard’s hands, this Chardonnay combines old-vine intensity with a contemporary, ultra-pure style that showcases Meursault at its most refined.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2023 Les Narvaux is pale lemon with green reflections, hinting at its youth and tension. The nose is lifted and focused, opening with citrus zest, green apple and white peach, followed by layers of crushed limestone, white flowers and a subtle nuttiness that will evolve with time. On the palate, it is taut and precise, with a vibrant line of acidity driving flavours of lemon curd, pear, chalk and a touch of saline minerality. The texture is silky yet racy, more about finesse and length than sheer weight, as is typical of this higher-slope site. The oak is discreet and beautifully integrated, adding gentle spice and structure without overshadowing the fruit. While already charming in its youth, this 2023 has the structure to evolve gracefully over 8–12 years, gaining complexity, creamier texture and more pronounced hazelnut and brioche notes with bottle age.

Production
Les Narvaux sits on the upper slopes of Meursault, where thin, stony soils over limestone and good drainage produce naturally low yields and a distinctive mineral drive in the wines. Rémi Jobard farms his parcels organically, harvesting by hand to ensure only perfectly ripe and healthy Chardonnay grapes reach the cellar. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged mostly in large-format oak (including foudres and older barrels) to preserve tension, purity of fruit and terroir expression. Long, gentle élevage on fine lees adds texture and depth without heaviness, resulting in a Meursault that is both precise and layered.

Food & Serving
This Meursault Les Narvaux 2023 shines alongside refined dishes such as seared scallops, grilled turbot, sole meunière, lobster with beurre blanc, or roast chicken with morel cream sauce. It also pairs beautifully with richer shellfish, veal in light cream sauces and fine, subtly nutty cheeses like Comté or aged Gruyère. Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) to allow the aromatics and texture to unfold gradually. A short decant of 20–30 minutes is recommended in its youth to help the wine open up, especially if served in more structured Burgundy stems.
