The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots is nicely defined on the nose and is already showing some fine minerality and delineation. The palate has a vibrant, chalky entry with a fine citric thread of acidity. This is well-balanced, charming with a touch of sherbet enlivening the finish that I hope will be there when bottled next year. Good potential. I have been visiting Francois Mikulski for a number of years. This is a reliable address for Meursault, although like numerous others his crops were depleted in 2012, resulting in the absence of some of this cuvees including some of his Meursault village crus that were blended together. Hail was also significant, reducing Volnay Santenots down to a negligible eight hectoliters per hectare. I tasted his wines from pre-blended bottles that were as close to the final blend as Francois could estimate.
