Process & Profile

Olivier Leflaive Meursault Le Porusot Premier Cru Récolte du Domaine is an estate-grown Chardonnay with a generous texture and notes of hazelnut, dried fruit, and pastry. Le Porusot’s rocky, limestone-rich clay soils provide the setting for a wine that combines substantial body with a firm, balancing structure.

The grapes are harvested by hand and pressed whole. After settling, the juice undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. Maturation includes new and previously used oak, followed by a final period in stainless steel before bottling.

Rich fruit and brioche-like nuances give the palate depth, while its focused structure carries the flavors into a persistent finish. This combination makes Le Porusot particularly appealing alongside lobster, creamy vegetable dishes, and flavorful cheeses.
