""Porusot" is the diminuitive of porroux, which we find in the lieu-dit "Les Porroux", a regional indication of "places with rocky soils". This is further derived from the Latin plural of petrosa, or "rocky places". Indeed, the terrain of "Porusots" in Meursault is covered with large-sized rocks. Our vineyard of 0.63 hectare takes its excellence from calcareous marl and limestone gravel. This parcel benefits from very early harvesting to keep its structural tension. Situated beside the famous "Les Genevrières" vineyard, it is by nature an exotic wine, which is why we rarely put it in new barrels." de Montille
"A much more floral-suffused nose reflects notes of green fruit, lemon rind and just enough wood to merit pointing out. There is again very fine volume on the sappy, round and seductive yet quite serious, powerful and muscular flavors that exhibit notably better depth and persistence. Very solid quality here."
