Leroux’s 2010 Meursault Poruzots is pure class and breed. An open, inviting bouquet leads to layers of expressive fruit as the Poruzots shows off its pedigree. Slate, crushed rocks and flowers add complexity and lift to the vibrant fruit. There is a crystalline purity to the Poruzots that is impossible to miss. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.
Benjamin Leroux is probably best known to readers for his superb work at Comte Armand, but the wines Leroux crafts under his own micro-negociant label are equally worthy of attention. Readers may also want to check out my video interview with Leroux on our website for more on his views on current vintages. In addition to the wines listed here, I also tasted just about all the 2011 whites. Those wines are shaping up beautifully and in some cases will rival or perhaps even surpass the 2010s for their balance. If the 2010s have a weakness here, it is that they are at times a bit on the heavy side.
