Pernot/Alvina Meursault 1er cru Les Poruzots 2023

94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The impressive 2023 Meursault Porusots from Alvina Pernot boasts lovely aromas of lemon peel, green apple and smoke. The texture reflects the richness of the year, but they have done all they can to bring a vibrant tension here. The wine comes from an exchange of must with friends in Meursault, fermented and aged in used casks. This wine will open well in five to seven years and should drink well for a further 20. Drinking Window: 2030-2050. (11/11/24)"

94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A fine lemon and lime colour. The bouquet is much classier than the Charmes. This is beautifully put together with a fine pure limestone thread surrounded by quality fruit picked at the right time. Vinous yet fresh with fine persistence. (Oct 2024)"

93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "From the lower part of the vineyard toward Genevrières, the 2023 Meursault Poruzots 1er Cru has an enticing bouquet with yellow plum, lime and a touch of shucked oyster shell. Very impressive delineation. The palate is well balanced with gorgeous apricot and wild peach notes, a killer line of acidity and a feisty, spicy finish that lingers long in the mouth. The previous vintage was very impressive, and this is hot on its heels. Superb. Drink: 2027-2044. (Jan 2025)"

92 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A more reserved nose somewhat grudgingly offers up its combination of green fruit, citrus rind, wet stone and quinine. The bigger-bodied and more muscular flavors retain a sleek mouthfeel that contrasts noticeably with the borderline rustic finale that is robust, long and already attractively complex. This beauty will need at least some forbearance as it's fairly tightly wound today. Drink: 2031+. (Jun 2025)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "A wider width of freshness. Hmm, that melts gorgeously over the palate – that’s dangerous wine – the bottle will empty so fast. Bravo. (Dec 2024)"
