Description

Located just South of Volnay and Pommard in the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is the most extensive southerly white wine commune of the Côte-d'Or. Surprisingly for an appellation of this quality, no Grand Cru exists, however the high quality of the Premier Cru more than compensates for this. The ideal southerly exposure and the Jurassic limestone-based soil of the Poruzot contribute to the growing of ripe, fruity clusters. The wine has a rich, nutty, buttery, elegant bouquet followed by mouth-filling fruit flavours and a long aftertaste. "Poruzots" is the diminutive of "Porroux" meaning "stony place", which describes well the soil of this climate.

Wine tasting

Tasting Note
Our Meursault 1er Cru 'Poruzots' 2022 has a pale yellow colour. The nose offers up aromas of honey, acacia and floral and lemon notes. On the palate, it is full and round. Floral aromas are followed by vanilla and honey on the finish. Lots of freshness.
Food Pairing
Chicken in cream sauce - skate in brown butter - white truffle risotto - Epoisses cheese.
