Revealing flower and mineral scents, the Meursault Poruzots possesses deep richness and ripeness in its medium-to-full-bodied and silky-textured personality. This structured wine has white flowers, nuts, and tangy peaches in its well-proportioned and balanced flavor profile. It should be at its peak between 1999 and 2005. The score, noted on a range and in parentheses, indicates that the wine was tasted from barrel.
Readers need to search out these offerings as they offer superb values for outstanding white Burgundies. Congratulations to Jean-Pierre Latour for the great strides his wines have made in such a short time!
