The 2020 Blagny La Piece Sous Le Bois 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet of yellow fruit mixed with wilted white flowers and hazelnut. It's refined with a soupçon of mineralité. The palate nicely balances with real concentration, countervailing acidity and a sapid, focused finish. Impressive in terms of length, this is a superb Meursault that should age with style. This shoots well above the showing from barrel. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2024)

Ein wunderbarer Burgunder. In der Nase geschmorter Apfel, Bratbirne, Limettenschale, und einen leichten Hauch von weissen Blüten. Am Gaumen saftig, sanfter Holzeinsatz aber nicht so mächtig wie sonstige Meursaults, jedoch auch nicht so mineralisch wie die Puligny‘s aus dem angrenzenden Gebiet. Angenehme Feuerstein-Mineralik und leichte Salzigkeit. Ein Genuss zum servierten Steinbutt mit Spitzmorchel und Frühlingserbse. Säure: Medium, Alkohol: Medium +

2002/7/16 with katsuo with.m negi ponzu, fried kinu tofu and amazu Yamagata dashi, aji karaage, etc. I have a soft spot for this domaine and this wine I particular, as my wife and I loved it so much back in the mid-2000s - it was bright, juicy and crunchy but with sneaky depth. I cellared a few bottles, of which this was the last - and considering that the domaine was bought in 2007, there haven’t been any more for a long time. The second-to-last bottle was nice, but felt a bit stretched...but that wasn’t the case here. The nose shifted through game, bruised flowers, undergrowth, and cherry syrup fruit. The palate was led by firm acidity, but that crunchy fruit was still there. This really was quite multidimensional, and while it might be hard to imagine it improving much in the aggregate, it still let you dream. Not a bad way to go out. — 2 years ago
