Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 14 Jan 21
With the 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Poruzots, Jobard's portfolio takes a step up in density and concentration. Wafting from the glass with notes of crisp Anjou pear, fresh bread, toasted almonds and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, bright and layered, with tangy acids, chalky extract and an elegant, fine-boned profile.

Vinous Neal Martin - 22 Nov 22
The 2018 Meursault Poruzots 1er Cru has a slightly muted/reduced bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass. Eventually, it reveals apple blossom and a very light flinty scent. On the entry, the palate is well balanced with orange zest and a touch of mango. However, it never builds into a Meursault with real pedigree and feels a little monotone on the finish. I wonder where this will go? Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
