Meursault Porusots 1er Cru Cuvée Jéhan Humblot
Albert Bichot’s view
Superb, brilliant, intense yellow color. Very fresh nose of almond, quince and sunny citrus fruit. Dense on the palate, yet retaining the minerality and fullness of this great terroir.
Food pairings
The generosity and intensity of this wine make it a perfect match for seafood à la plancha, mushroom velouté and truffled poultry.
The parcel making up this cuvée is located mid-slope and faces east. The soil is rich in calcareous marl with fine-grained pebbles. The cuvée is often elegant and delicate, but not without longevity.
