Product Description
RP94 "The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Poruzots is showing brilliantly, soaring from the glass with aromas of pear, Meyer lemon and oatmeal, framed by a light touch of reduction. Medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, this is a deep, tensile and incipiently textural Poruzots that displays superb reserves of concentration and energy." WK for TWA Feb 2020
When I tasted these wines from barrel last year, I wrote that Antoine Jobard's incisive but concentrated style was a perfect match for the 2017 vintage, and that contention was resoundingly confirmed by their performance in bottle. Antoine took over from his father, François, in 2004, but the rudiments of winemaking here haven't changed: long fermentations, protracted sur-lie élevage without stirring and moderate percentages of new wood are still the order of the day.
