Tasting notes
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.

The 2020 Blagny la Piece Sous Le Bois 1er Cru is very deep in colour. This offers red plum and a touch of mint on the nose that just misses a little animation. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins, fleshy with black plum and cassis towards the grippy finish. Powerful, but maybe not as refined as other cuvées.

In Blagny we trust! A fine glowing rich crimson purple. This has plenty of power to it, blackberries and bilberries, then a finish on cleaner fresher red fruit, quite a lot of nuance, good acidity and fine boned tannins, really very persistent. Lovely aftertaste.
