The 2023 Meursault Les Porusots 1er Cru has an effervescent bouquet with orange zest and yellow plum scents, under which lies crushed stone and hints of almond. The palate is very well balanced with a bright bead of acidity. Touches of marzipan and white chocolate render the finish very seductive. A persistent spiciness lingers. Superb.(NM)

The last 1er Cru to pick, it has the structure to hold on. Mid lemon yellow. Plenty of fruit with a little cream, but without the honeysuckle. A wealth of concentrated white stone fruit, good acidity. This holds together very well. A little touch of barrel toast at the finish doesn’t do any harm. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Oct 2024.

This is also ripe yet cool with its blend of green fruit, spice and broad array of citrus elements. There is notably more volume, though a bit less refinement, to the rich and exceptionally generous medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the markedly powerful, muscular and impressively long finale. This is excellent and very Porusots in character and a wine that should age accordingly.*Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*
