The 2009 Meursault Les Poruzots emerges from the glass with white flowers, pears and citrus. This is an especially chiseled, taut 2009 graced with terrific energy and focus. The fruit fleshes out nicely on the mid-palate, but this remains an essentially pointed wine that will benefit from further bottle age. This is all elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.
Alix de Montille is going for a taut style with the whites she makes at the Domaine and at Deux Montille, the negociant operation she runs with her brother Etienne. The 2009s are quite strong across the board. Unfortuantely I was only able to taste a partial lineup of the 2010s (for both the Domaine and Deux Montille) as several of the wines were still in malo. Based on what I tasted in barrel, 2010 is a much more exciting vintage here, and one that gave de Montille the perfect conditions to make wines in her style. The 2010s show enormous promise. I can hardly wait to taste them in finished form. The wines from Domaine de Montille are reviewed separately.
