Germain’s small parcel (0.25 hectares) of 35-year-old vines is in the upper part of Le Poruzot Dessus, under the Narvaux terroir. This plot was inherited from Germain’s father-in-law, François Jobard. Yes, Antoine Jobard is Jean-François’s brother-in-law, and his next-door neighbour in Les Poruzots. It’s interesting, then, to compare these two examples, both shipped by Bibendum. Poruzots is a fascinating terroir at the part of the Premier Cru slope where the aspect begins to turn towards the east. It’s a place that tends to produce quite earthy wines—somewhat reminiscent of Limozin but with more depth and layers. The notes below capture the wine well.

Reviews

“The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Poruzots is open and expressive, offering up aromas of pear, white flowers, toasted hazelnuts, freshly baked bread and buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a satiny attack that segues into an enveloping mid-palate, it's structured around bright acids and chalky extract.”
92-94 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“The 2022 Meursault Poruzots 1er Cru had finished its malo and was waiting to be racked. It has impressive intensity on the nose: orchard fruit, peach skin and Clementines, quite vigorous and energetic. The palate is harmonious on the entry with a keen line of acidity, perhaps the spiciest and nuttiest of Germain's cuvées with a long tail on the finish. This will be a wonderful Poruzots.”
93-95 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
