The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Porusot (Domaine Louis Jadot) displays notes of ripe lemons, green orchard fruit and toasty new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and open-knit palate that will make friends in its youth. Barnier observes that this parcel is planted with a selection of Chardonnay that tends to give a generous yield of juice.

The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Porusot has quite an elegant, understated bouquet that seems to gain intensity in the glass, revealing light brioche and nutty scents with time. The palate is well balanced with a touch of orange rind and sour lemon on the entry, moderate weight with a slightly curtailed finish. It just needs to gain a little length by the end of its élevage.

The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Porusot, which is from the domaine's vineyard, has a perfumed brioche and orange blossom-scented bouquet that feels pure and well defined. There is satisfying intensity here. The palate is well balanced with lightly honeyed citrus fruit, commendable weight in the mouth with a punchy, spicy finish. Not bad, although I would want more Meursault-like character to develop once this is in bottle.
