2019 Domaine Boyer-Martenot, Les Narvaux, Meursault, Burgundy, France, 1.5L

Domaine Boyer-Martenot is one of our favourite winery based in Meursault with a history dating back to the 17th century.. The estate meticulously tends to its vineyards, carefully selecting the finest grapes from their prime high altitude lieux dit in prestigious appellations like Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet capable to produce expressive and crystal pure Chardonnay. Led by the Boyer family, and now in the capable hands of winemaker Jean-François Martenot(4th generation), the domaine continues to uphold its legacy of crafting wines of exceptional quality and finesse with a lineup of remarkable, high-altitude lieux-dits and premiers crus that have few equals in the village. Vincent allows only indigenous yeast in the cellar, using little new wood and bottling his whites with low levels of SO2 and minimal to zero filtration.

For those in the know, there is no doubt that is one of the elite estates in all of Burgundy.
