2012 Benjamin Leroux Meursault Les Poruzots Premier Cru 1x750ml

Robert Parker 88

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Porusots from Benjamin Leroux has a conservative, tightly-knit bouquet with hazelnut and a touch of smoke emerging with time. The palate is fresh on the entry with orange zest and a distant tang of marmalade. This has very good weight and harmony, building all the time in the glass towards a very composed and decidedly forward finish that suggests it might not have as long a future as its peers.
