Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Poruzots 2022 - Domaine Roux

A 2022 Meursault Premier Cru from Domaine Roux, made from Chardonnay grown on south-east-facing soils rich in Jurassic marl and magnesian limestone. The grapes are picked by hand and fermented in oak barrels by traditional methods, 30% of them new. The wine then stays in wood for 12 to 14 months before bottling. Bright golden yellow in the glass, it opens with verbena, lime blossom, acacia honey, citrus and flinty echoes. The palate is rich and soft yet fresh, with toasted hazelnut notes and a long finish. It works well with white meat in sauce, baked scallops, shellfish and goat's or blue cheeses.
