Domaine de Montille Meursault Les Porusots 1er Cru 2019

The 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Les Porusots wafts from the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white peach, freshly baked bread, pastry cream and a touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, ample and charming, with lively acids, fine depth at the core and a long, saline finish, this has turned out nicely.

There are two distinct parts to the de Montille holding in Porusots: the upper part in sandy, loamy soils and the lower part with a south-east exposition that can ripen a bit too quickly, so is always picked early. The result is a wine with tropical aromas that are enlivened on the palate by fresh acidity. This is a rich mouthful of wine, but not one that is out of balance.
