Tasting notes
The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots has a light, herbaceous bouquet with cooking apple, grass clippings and a touch of green asparagus. The palate has a herbaceous entry with crisp acidity, that grassy element coming through once again, with a touch of fresh green asparagus on the finish. Drink now-2017. It was a pleasure to return to one of my favorite Meursault growers, Francois Mikulski, a conscientious winemaker. His wines offer both broad commercial appeal and the complexity to satisfy aficionados. If I am being honest, I do not think Francois’ 2011s quite hit all the buttons, and occasionally displayed too much herbaceous character. However, they are keenly priced and from my own experience can mature deceptively well, though I think I would enjoy these wines in the flush of youth. Francois told me that he replaced his Gamay with Chardonnay, therefore 2012 will be the last vintage of the Bourgogne Passetoutgrain. Since 2008, Francois has made three barrels of Meix Chavaux, which is orientated east/northeast. No known American importer.

At present the nose mixes hints of reduction and the classic green fruit of Poruzots. There is very good volume and density to the middle weight plus flavors that seem to have a slightly finer texture than usual and like the Limozin, there is a pronounced citrus character on the bone dry and solidly lengthy finish.
