On the nose, this wine boasts aromas of green apple, yellow stone fruit and citrus peel, with subtle hints of almond and matchstick. The medium to full-bodied palate possesses a taut muscularity and rounded profile, and the finish is complex and lingering.
The plot name `Les Porusots` derives from the appellation of `Les Porroux`, known for its rocky calcareous marl and limestone gravel soils that impart an elegance on the fruit grown there. The vineyard covers 0.63 hectares and benefits from an early-ripening position that helps to keep the wine’s structural tension. Having been previously under the care of Château de Puligny-Montrachet, the parcel is now farmed by the Domaine with the use of organic and biodynamic practices to respect the surrounding nature.
Founded in the mid-18th century, this family-owned estate is one of the most historic in the Côte d’Or, with ninth generation Etienne de Montille now at its helm. Etienne inherited this responsibility from his late father, Hubert, who took over the domaine when it had shrunk from 12 to just 2.5 hectares. Previously, the family had sold off vineyards in Musigny, Bonnes Mares and Chambolle-Musigny. Hubert’s tenure lasted a staggering 50 years. While 90% of the region’s production was sold to négociants, he gained fame for his estate-bottled, long-lived and characterful wines.
