2018 Meursault 1. Cru Poruzots Henri Boillot

Aromas of orange oil, fresh pear, almond paste, warm pastry and beeswax introduce the 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots, a medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional wine that's concentrated, racy and beautifully defined, concluding with terrific back-end grip.

A markedly more complex nose is comprised by notes of petrol, ripe green fruit, roasted nut and again a hint of poached pear. There is notably better density and power to the broad- shouldered flavors that exhibit sneaky good length on the balanced and moderately firm finish. This is a big wine even by the standard of Poruzots and one that will need at least a few years of bottle aging first. 92/2026+
