If you're looking for a top pick for world-class white Burgundy, this is a no-brainer. Valentin Jobard at Domaine Jobard Morey is living proof that great wine comes from old vines, top terroirs, and a gentle hand in the cellar - and his Meursault 1er Cru Poruzot 2022 is pure magic.
This isn't a shy wine. It wafts from the glass with layered, complex aromas of white peach, pear, apple blossom, hazelnuts, and a warm hint of nutmeg. On the palate, it is absolutely satiny and enveloping—it feels soft and luxurious in your mouth, but is immediately lifted by bright acidity. The wine has an elegantly fleshy core of fruit, but finishes saline and long, reminding you of the limestone rock beneath the vines.
The Wine Advocate agrees, giving this a huge 93/100 Points, noting its seamless quality and vibrant energy. Serve it blind next to other blue-chip names, and you might be surprised how well it holds up - especially once you compare the pricing, which makes Jobard-Morey a real steal for Premier Cru quality.
