Tasting notes
Here too there is a whiff of matchstick on the pink grapefruit, floral, green apple and lemon-lime nuances. The racy and impressively intense medium-bodied flavors possess excellent delineation while displaying fine power on the driving and youthfully austere finish. This is more elegant than Poruzots typically is and a wine that should age particularly well.

Boillot's 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots reveals attractive aromas of ripe green apple, Meyer lemon, white flowers and almond paste. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered and pure, with more concentration, cut and structure than the Charmes this year.
Bright, light yellow. Subtle stone fruits, flowers and spices on the nose. Conveys a sweeter impression than the village Meursault, but also boasts lovely balancing acidity. This sappy, smooth, long wine finishes with saliva-inducing salinity to its flavors of fresh apricot and lemon zest.
