Gorgeous aromatics of flowers and ripe white fruits can be discerned in the nose of the 2001 Meursault-Poruzots Dessus Vieilles Vignes. A wine of outstanding volume, depth, and concentration, it sports a powerful mineral underpinning. Medium-bodied and pure, it also reveals a long, detailed finish. This wonderful 2001 will be at its best if consumed over the next 6 years.
