From Les Tillets and Narvaux. Pale clear colour. Quite concentrated bouquet, a little bit chunky, Powerful and intense on the palate with a little bit of citrus at the finish, good length.
Bill Nanson "The Burgundy Report"
A blend of parcels that are high on the hill towards Puligny - Tillets and Narvaux - ‘I want a Puligny style hence the locations but this very Meursault.’ This was previously called ‘Pierres’ but the douane didn’t like that as it sounded too much like Perrières! So…
A smaller nose, like the last, but the width has fine Meursault spice and a little freshness. Also in the mouth, nicely fresh and faintly with ginger-spice. A faint framing of the flavours with a tiny grain of tannin - gorgeously mobile finishing - delicious wine!
John Gilman "View from the Cellar"
The 2020 Meursault “les Pierres” bottling from Domaine Chartron is composed half of fruit from les Tillets and half from Narvaux, so this is a pretty high pedigree villages. The 2020 version has turned out beautifully, delivering a fine nose of apple, passion fruit, hazelnuts, chalky soil tones, just a hint of pastry cream and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and zesty, with a fine core, lovely mineral undertow, bright acids and a long, promising and still nicely reserved finish. Good juice, but give it a few years in the cellar to fully blossom. 2024-2045+.
