Dominique Lafon, Meursault les Narvaux, 2022

When you hear Dominique Lafon, you think Meursault royalty. And Les Narvaux? That’s the sweet spot—a top village site that drinks like premier cru, just without the markup. The 2022 vintage is classic Lafon: polished but not flashy, serious but still super drinkable. This bottle brings all the Meursault magic—creamy texture, golden orchard fruit, a little hazelnut roundness—but it’s built on a backbone of chalky minerality that keeps things cool and focused. No oak bomb here. Just balance, lift, and a long, stony finish that makes you slow down (or not—honestly, it’s hard to stop sipping). Lafon farms it biodynamically and keeps the winemaking minimal—no tricks, just letting this upper-slope vineyard speak for itself. It’s one of those bottles that Meursault lovers whisper about, because Narvaux is kind of a secret weapon—less famous than Perrières or Charmes, but often just as thrilling. Drink it with roast chicken, buttery shellfish, or when you want to feel like you’ve got Grand
