2016 Meursault 1er Cru "Poruzot" Domaine Jean Marie Bouzereau

Description:
The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru "Poruzot" from Domaine Jean Marie Bouzereau is a highly elegant white wine typical of the Côte de Beaune. This Premier Cru terroir imparts a rich texture and distinctive saline minerality to the wine. The Chardonnay fully expresses its aromatic complexity with notes of white-fleshed fruits, ripe citrus, and delicate floral nuances. Oak aging, partly in new barrels, adds a nice roundness and toasted hints without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, this Meursault offers a generous body, well-controlled freshness, and a long, persistent finish that highlights its aging potential.

Blend:
100% Chardonnay from the Premier Cru "Poruzot" vineyard, renowned for its finesse and richness.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Bright golden yellow.

• Nose: Aromas of pear, white peach, candied lemon, with subtle notes of vanilla and toasted hazelnut.

• Palate: Creamy and elegant, with balanced acidity, an almost silky texture, and a saline finish that prolongs the sense of freshness.

Aging Potential:
Can be enjoyed now but will develop greater complexity and depth over 8 to 12 years.

Food Pairings:
Ideal with grilled fish, shellfish, creamy poultry dishes, and pressed, uncooked cheeses such as Beaufort or Comté.
