2013 Meursault 1. Cru Poruzots Henri Boillot

The 2013 Meursault les Poruzots sees 40% new wood. It has a precision and detail on the nose that handles the new oak in its stride, candied orange peel emerging with aeration. The palate is well balanced, with a keen line of acidity, harmonious, with hints of pralines developing toward the finish. This is a Meursault with a bit of nascent chutzpah.

Bright pale yellow. Ripe yellow fruits and almond on the slightly exotic nose. Fat, broad and full, with lovely fine-grained texture to the stone fruit and smoky oak flavors. Finishes dry, classic and long, with a lingering smoky quality.
