2015 Meursault 1. Cru Poruzots Henri Boillot

The nose is presently dominated by hints of reduction and matchstick yet they are not so strong that the underlying fruit won't eventually emerge with a few years of bottle age. On the plus side the powerful, concentrated and muscular flavors exhibit excellent length on the mandarin orange-suffused finish. As is usually the case, this is not an elegant wine but it certainly doesn't lack for punch and character.

Bright yellow. More complex on the nose than the village Meursault, offering aromas of yellow peach, lemon, smoke and minerals. Broad but light on its feet, showing noteworthy stony precision in the middle palate. Finishes with sappy salinity and very good grip and length.
