The Story
Porusots derives its name from an old word for stony ground, and this expansive premier cru (divided into Dessus, Le Porusot, and Dessous sections) lives up to that character. This midslope, southwest-facing site sits on deep clay-limestone foundations studded with stones that create a wine of remarkable layering and structure. Unlike the racy mineral tension of Genevrières or the opulent creaminess of Charmes, Porusots occupies an intermediate terrain: lavish and deeply structured, with a richness that unfolds over time. It's a wine that demonstrates the producer's complete range of expression within a single appellation.
