2022 Alvina Pernot, Meursault Premier Cru, Les Poruzots, Bottle (750ml)

DR95 This vibrant wine has expressive aromas of green apple, lemon peel, hawthorn flowers, and hazelnut. The texture is elegant and fine, with impressive freshness given the heat of the vintage that carries the wine to a rewardingly long finish. There are six barrels this year that come from an exchange with another vigneron. The wines are aged in older barrels with most of their lees but without stirring to maximise freshness.

VM94 The 2022 Meursault Poruzots 1er Cru is a little reductive on the nose, but there is concentration here, crushed stone and pressed flowers commingling with subtle jasmine and yellow fruit aromas. The palate is very well-balanced with a killer line of acidity. Taut and focused, precise and tensile, this is a superbly made Poruzots with commendable length and salinity. Excellent.
