I generally like Yves Boyer's wines best when they're from cooler vintages that retain healthy acidity levels.So it was not surprising that the top 2013s here show enticing purity and definition.Boyer believes that they will age slowly and well.Boyer told me he likes the balance of the 2012s, which he says are already starting to open, but then added that he likes drinking his wines on the young side.

"Good material, good balance and acidity; there's really nothing bad to say about 2012," said Yves Boyer."The worry is the small volume of wine."The Meursault Narvaux and the premier crus were the most affected by hail, added Boyer, who told me that crop levels were down as much as 60%.Boyer started harvesting on September 17 and lightly chaptalized his early cuvees.
