OLIVIER LEFLAIVE, Meursault Premier Cru Poruzots, 2022

Les Poruzots, Meursault, Burgundy, France

Grape: Chardonnay

Ratings: 4.1 on VIVINO

This is a single Premier Cru vineyard named Les Poruzot in the village of Meursault.

Do take note that sometimes this vineyard is spelt as Porusot. "Poruzots" and "Porusots" are often used interchangeably to refer to the same Premier Cru vineyard. It is just spelling differences.

"Poruzot" is considered the correct spelling, while "Porusots" is considered the traditional and historically been used by winemakers.

Most winemaker use the spelling in some vintages as Porusots and in other vintages Poruzots, but this does not reflect anything about the vintage itself.

Meursault Premier Cru "Poruzots" is a highly regarded vineyard within Meursault, producing wines with power, richness, and strong mineral character.

The name "Poruzots" derives from the old French word "porroux," meaning stony terrain, reflecting the vineyard's well-drained, rocky soils.

This 2022 vintage displays expressive aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple, citrus zest, and acacia flowers, with underlying notes of toasted almonds, hazelnuts, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate it is creamy textured, balanced by vibrant acidity and a long mineral-driven finish.

Best to enjoy with buttered lobster, roasted poultry, and creamy buttery dishes.
