The 2021 Meursault 1er Cru Porusots unwinds in the glass with aromas of pear, crisp green apple, white flowers, toasted almonds and bread dough. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's a racy, vibrant wine, the cooler vintage tempering the somewhat open-knit profile that this climat sometimes displays.

A particular success this year is the 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Porusots, a lovely wine that wafts from the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, white flowers, blanched almonds and wheat toast. Medium to full-bodied, tangy and chiseled, it's vibrant, concentrated and incisive, concluding with a chalky finish. Assessed at this early juncture, it's as good a Porusots as I can remember tasting chez Lafon.

The 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Porusots opens in the glass with notes of citrus oil, almond paste, white flowers and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, its satiny attack segues into a tightly wound mid-palate and a mouthwateringly chalky finish.

The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Porusots is also very lively and nicely defined this year, displaying scents of pear, lemon oil, crisp green apple, white flowers and a subtle touch of oak vanillin. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, chalky and incisive, with terrific tension for the vintage, concluding with a mouthwatering finish.

The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Porusots exhibits aromas of green orchard fruit, dried white flowers and toasted nuts, framed by a touch of toasty new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and saline, concluding with a pure finish.
