2023 Domaine Roulot Meursault 1er Cru "Porusot", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Located mid-slope, just below “Les Genevrières,” Les Porusots is one of Meursault’s most characterful Premier Cru sites, marked by deep clay-limestone soils and excellent sun exposure. Roulot’s 2023 bottling captures the vineyard’s natural depth while preserving the domaine’s signature sense of lift and precision.
Organically farmed and hand-harvested, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented with native yeasts in French oak barrels (20–25% new). The wine is aged for 12–15 months on fine lees without bâtonnage, followed by additional time in tank before bottling to sharpen definition. The result is a wine of quiet intensity—less overt than some Meursaults, but pulsing with inner energy and age-worthy structure. Serve with lobster, roasted poultry in cream sauce, or aged Comté to highlight its depth and finesse.
