(91-94 points) Notably pale in colour. A chiselled, slightly reductive nose, but very fine, with an energy which is much more expressive than usual. Poruzots is showing its usual solid structure, but the fruit inside has taken on personality. No problem with the fruit acid balance either.

(92-94 points) The 2022 Meursault Les Porusots 1er Cru has a comparatively backward nose, pineapple mixed with citrus peel and just a touch of honeycomb. The palate is well-balanced with a defined, waxy-textured entry. With fine acidity, it’s a slightly smoky style of Meursault with a dab of spice towards the finish. Maybe it needs a little more nerve. Otherwise, this will be a fine Meursault that needs a bit more pizzazz. That might develop by the time it is in bottle. - By Neal Martin on October 2023

(90-93 points) Discreet wood influence sets off ripe and expressive aromas of petrol, acacia blossom and hazelnut. The bigger-bodied and more powerful medium weight flavors possess reasonably good mid-palate density while exhibiting a taut muscularity on the youthfully austere, firm and serious finale that also flirts with rusticity. This is classic Poruzots though one that should be approachable after only 5-ish years.

Reductive smoky notes and salty minerality colour the bright aromas of grapefruit, greengage plum and passion fruit. Although the wine has lively acidity, there is enough density and length that it doesn't feel shrill. A bit forbidding now, this wine should start to open in three to five years and age well for a decade or more after that. The grapes come from the two domaine parcels (one in Dessus, one in Dessous), fermented and aged in large and small casks with a low proportion of new wood.
