The 2023 Domaine de Montille Meursault Les Porusots is a Premier Cru white Burgundy from the renowned Meursault appellation in France’s Côte de Beaune. Produced from Chardonnay by the highly regarded Domaine de Montille, this wine reflects the estate’s biodynamic farming and restrained approach to winemaking, focusing on vineyard transparency, mineral precision and balance. The Les Porusots vineyard is known for producing wines with greater structure and depth, and the 2023 vintage combines ripe fruit concentration with vibrant acidity and freshness. The nose is layered and refined, revealing aromas of lemon curd, white peach and ripe pear alongside toasted almond, subtle brioche and fine chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a concentrated yet precise texture supported by bright natural acidity. Flavours of citrus, stone fruit and baked apple unfold alongside restrained oak influence that adds gentle creaminess and savoury complexity without overshadowing the vineyard character. The limestone-rich soils of Les Porusots contribute notable mineral tension and persistence, while careful lees ageing enhances texture and depth. The finish is long, dry and focused with lingering citrus, hazelnut and saline mineral nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Premier Cru Meursault for customers seeking a structured and cellar-worthy Chardonnay with depth, freshness and classic Côte de Beaune character. The 2023 vintage already shows impressive balance while retaining the capacity to evolve beautifully over the next 8–12 years. Best served lightly chilled with lobster, scallops, roast poultry, creamy mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses.
