Benjamin Leroux
Le Porusot Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay
Savory, salty, pear, Fuji apple and some ripe citrus with a light hazelnut toast on the nose, the palate is sharper, good acidity, could use a little more, a med/med+ body, med+ length of the finish. Maybe it's the 13 vintage that lacks just a little energy that 12/14 has. Still very enjoyable at almost 10, has probably another 3-5 years.

Jul 31st, 2022Palate has started to flesh out a bit, but still lots of leaner yellow fruit and mineral. Really great!

Lemon and lime peel. Crushed stone. Juicy lemon and lime in the plate too. Long energetic finish. Fantastic!

Mar 27th, 2015Rich and oaky with nice acidity and darling precision. Young but so much promise. Juicy and long and with mineral well integrated. Terrific.
