Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 20 Jan 22
The 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Poruzots unwinds in the glass with notions of pear, citrus zest, white flowers and toasted almonds, framed by a touch of light reduction. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's concentrated and precise, with chalky structure and a saline finish.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 20
Sulfited the week prior to my visit, the 2019 Meursault Poruzots 1er Cru nevertheless showed impressive clarity on the nose of honeysuckle, lemon thyme and walnut aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a sappy entry, a fine bead of acidity and a little more precision than the Meursault-Blagny by direct comparison. Likewise, it will require some bottle maturation, but there is good potential here.

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.
