2023, Maison Benjamin Leroux, MEURSAULT-BLAGNY, 1er Cru, 'La Pièce sous le Bois'

A mix of their own vines and others. This has exactly the limestone feel to the nose that one hopes for, with elegance rather than too much of a stony feel, picked on 4th September, the first day of the real heatwave. Fuller finish, with plenty of energy. Drink from 2029 - 2035. Tasted Oct 2024. **** 91-94 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy.

The 2023 Meursault-Blagny La Pièce Sous Le Bois 1er Cru has a good intensity on the nose with lifted yellow plum and jasmine scents. Hints of walnut come through with aeration. The palate is fresh on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, remaining harmonious and poised with apricot and peach notes toward the finish. This is similar to the Narvaux but has a little more panache. 90-92 Neal Martin.
