Reviews
92/100 Decanter.com - Blind tasted by Andy Howard MW (at London, 22 May 2020). Part of Behind Burgundy's boutique micro-négoce: Les Parcellaires de Saulx
"Classic Meursault on the nose with hints of orange, some floral notes and oak in evidence. The palate has good purity of flavour and enough acidity but the palate is a little heavier than expected. A weighty Meursault Narvaux – this lacks a little of the ‘nervosité’ and elegance anticipated. Still a nice example but needs a bit more refinement. Drinking Window 2020 - 2023"
