Leroy Domaine d’Auvenay Meursault Les Narvaux 2009

Leroy Domaine d’Auvenay Meursault Les Narvaux 2009 is a white Burgundy wine from the renowned Domaine d’Auvenay, a small, highly regarded estate run by Lalou Bize-Leroy. This wine comes from the Meursault appellation in the Côte de Beaune, known for producing some of the most exquisite and expressive white wines in Burgundy, primarily from the Chardonnay grape. Les Narvaux is a premier cru vineyard site within Meursault, celebrated for its complex, mineral-driven wines.

The 2009 vintage of Leroy Domaine d’Auvenay Meursault Les Narvaux showcases the elegance and richness characteristic of this exceptional vineyard. On the nose, it opens with a beautifully complex bouquet of ripe fruits such as white peach, citrus, and green apple, alongside delicate floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle. There are also hints of almond, hazelnut, and subtle buttery richness, which come from the careful oak aging, along with a touch of wet stone minerality that adds depth.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet retains a sense of freshness and precision. The texture is luxurious, with a round, almost creamy mouthfeel, balanced by a vibrant acidity that gives the wine energy and lift. The fruit flavors are harmonious, with ripe stone fruits and citrus, complemented by a toasty, nutty complexity from the oak. The minerality is pronounced, providing a fine, almost salty finish that lingers with exceptional length.

Leroy Domaine d’Auvenay Meursault Les Narvaux 2009 is a stunning example of Meursault’s potential, with a perfect balance of richness, fines
