Germain’s small parcel (0.25 hectares) of 35-year-old vines is in the upper part of Le Poruzot Dessus, under the Narvaux terroir. This plot was inherited from Germain’s father-in-law, François Jobard. Yes, Antoine Jobard is Jean-François’s brother-in-law and his next-door neighbour in Les Poruzots. Interesting, then, to be able to compare these two examples, both shipped by Bibendum. Poruzots is already a fascinating terroir. It’s at the part of the Premier Cru slope where the aspect begins to turn towards the east and tends to produce quite earthy wines. The style is somewhat reminiscent of Limozin but has more depth and layers.

Reviews

“Still plenty of colour but not the deepest. The nose has that crystalline yet also solidly built aspect of typical Poruzots. A beautiful intensity through the middle, with some lighter fresh apple notes, washed with a fine citrus, but beneath these a backbone of white stone fruit. Balanced long and classy. Was 13.7% at the harvest. Very long fine aftertaste.”
93-95 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
