Aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, citrus oil and baking spices introduce the 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Blagny (Maison), a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine that's bright and chalky, concluding with a saline finish. It's a fine effort that should match the 2017 rendition.
The 2020 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru comes from purchased fruit. It has a slightly leesy bouquet with light pear and Granny Smith aromas, a touch of melon. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh, quite saline in the mouth with a touch of oak that will need 24-months to be subsumed.
