Henri Germain, Meursault Poruzots

Henri Germain, Meursault Poruzots(from a . 25 ha parcel). A very deft application of wood easily allows the vaguely exotic aromas of petrol, green fruit and hazelnut to be appreciated.

This too is excellent and a wine that should effortlessly reward a decade or more of cellaring.

but also so refined

all wrapped in a powerful

A certain richness and tightness

Overall this is fantastic and should effortlessly reward longer-term cellaring yet be approachable after only 5 or so years

Love the tension here
