Antoine Jobard Meursault 1er Cru 'Poruzots' 2020

Poruzots is one of the more intriguing and lesser understood Premier Cru terroirs of Meursault. As we import three (Jobard, Henri Germain and Benjamin Leroux) we have some experience! Antoine Jobard has three small plots totalling 0.79 ha in the upper part of Le Poruzot-Dessus, under the Narvaux terroirs, planted between 1972 and 1994. 

This site often begets the most pungent, complex and earthy Meursault in the Jobard offering and it is always outstanding. The 2020 is no exception—a brilliant wine and yet stylistically it’s so pure, crystalline and extremely mineral. In other words, this is a Poruzots that might make you think of Genevrières or Perrières.  Importer’s notes.

“The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Poruzots exhibits aromas of pear, crisp green apple, freshly baked bread and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's a layered, elegant, precise wine that concludes with a bright, mouthwatering finish.” 93 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate.

“Clear lemon and lime. Fractionally reductive but more to the point just plain backward. That’s for the nose, because in fact the palate opens out very nicely. Perfectly judged ripeness in soft white fruit but supported by a fine grip to finish, as the vineyard’s typical tannins kick in. Very persistent.” 92-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy.
