Vintage Character Domaine Philippe Chavy Meursault Les Narvaux 2022 is a village-level Meursault from the celebrated Les Narvaux lieu-dit, a high-sited parcel above the village known for giving Chardonnay more lift and mineral cut than the richer, broader profile often associated with Meursault. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was widely regarded as strong: a warm, dry growing season delivered healthy fruit and generous ripeness, while timely freshness in the grapes helped preserve balance. In Les Narvaux, the stonier, well-drained soils and elevated position shape a wine of energy, precision, and saline tension.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, this wine shows ripe pear, yellow apple, citrus zest, white flowers, and a gentle nuttiness that speaks clearly of Meursault without tipping into excess. The palate is layered yet focused, combining orchard fruit, subtle lees creaminess, and a touch of hazelnut with bright acidity and a chalky, persistent finish. It has the textural generosity buyers seek in Meursault, but with a more linear, finely etched frame that makes it especially versatile at table. Pair it with roast chicken with morels, seared scallops in brown butter, or pork and chive dumplings.
Winery Background Domaine Philippe Chavy is a family estate rooted in Meursault, with Philippe Chavy continuing a long Burgundian grower tradition through wines that favor transparency over weight. His style is known for careful vineyard work, hand-harvesting, and restrained élevage designed to preserve the identity of each site rather than mask it with oak. Fermentation and aging are handled in a classic Burgundian manner, with lees contact contributing texture while measured wood influence supports, rather than dominates, the fruit. That combination of vineyard specificity, polish, and balance makes Philippe Chavy a compelling source for terroir-driven white Burgundy.
