Displaying Riesling-like notes of petrol along with iris and citrus oil in the nose, Boyer’s 2007 Meursault Narvaux is another of those 2007s that defy one’s intuitions about relatively high yields with a palpable sense of mineral extract, here expressed as chalkiness, brine, and white pepper. This grips formidably and pungently, even a bit severely, but with a fine persistence of its diverse mineral elements. I would expect it to be worth following for at least a half dozen years. This should be worth holding for at least 5-6 years. Vincent Boyer’s 2007s – all of which were bottled by the following September, and weigh in at 12.5-13% alcohol – display a diversity of personalities, but share a sense of transparency to nuance, and a consistency of quality not equaled by his 2006s.
