Vintage Character M.J. Tricot Meursault 'Le Porusot' Premier Cru 2020 is a white wine from Meursault, Burgundy, made from Chardonnay. 2020's warm, dry season gave concentration while well-sited Chardonnay retained acidity. Its identity rests on a small-production Meursault Premier Cru from the Porusot sector. barrel fermentation and measured lees ageing shapes the wine's texture and aromatic detail while keeping the origin clearly in view. The result is a characterful expression that combines regional typicity with a measured, food-friendly sense of balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, it shows lemon, pear, yellow apple and white flowers. Winemaking and maturation add hazelnut, brioche and restrained butter, while time brings chalk, beeswax and dried citrus. The palate is full-bodied with high acidity and little perceptible tannin, carrying the flavours into a focused, persistent finish. Its appeal comes from definition, proportion and the clarity of its site rather than overt showmanship. Serve it with lobster, roast chicken or turbot; those dishes echo the wine's savoury detail while allowing its freshness to reset the palate.
Winery Background M.J. Tricot is the producer, with M.J. Tricot responsible for its winemaking direction. The estate's work is grounded in the vineyards and in a cellar approach appropriate to Meursault, favouring sound fruit, controlled extraction or pressing, and élevage that supports rather than masks the raw material. For buyers, the key value is the combination of defined origin, a recognisable producer signature and a style that works at the table. The stated dry profile, high acidity and full body also make the bottle easy to place in a collection or on a restaurant list. Proper storage and a suitable serving temperature will help preserve its detail, balance and length.
