The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Poruzot wafts from the glass with aromas of white peach, pear, apple blossom, hazelnuts and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's seamless and vibrant, with an elegantly fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a saline finish.In Bond€1,010.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-91)
Again one of the deeper colours. Slightly chunky old fashioned nose. A little more elegance in the finish than the straight Meursault, but maybe this is falling between two stools. Robust with just a little hillside tang to it.In Bond€930.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)
Full pale lemon. The bouquet is attractive with an intriguing note of liquorice. Quite full on the nose, with a little warmth as well as body, then brought back in to a beautiful finish. Good acidity. A little tension behind, needs time. A wine currently showing in two halves, but which may very well develop positively from here. A conservative score for now.

Vinous (92+)
Pale, bright yellow. Tight, bright aromas of lemon-lime, grapefruit pith and crushed stone. Pliant on entry, then adamantly minerally and firm in the middle palate and dominated by its structure. But this very intense, fine-grained wine really resounds on the finish. Very closed today but has the balance and backbone to age gracefully.In Bond€1,500.00 -

The 2021 Meursault Perrières 1er Cru is just missing a little _mineralité _and terroir expression compared to others that I tasted from this noble site. Maybe just a little closed at the present? The palate follows suit, perfectly well balanced though it just lacks a bit of verve and tension. Afford this two or three years in bottle and let's see if it has something up its sleeve.In Bond€787.00 -
