"The Blagny la Pièce sous le Bois Premier Cru, just like its neighbour Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru Blanc, is strongly distinguished by its limestone terroir. It is one of the very few appellations in the Côte de Beaune where Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grow happily side by side on the same plot. Dark and intense fruits dominate the spicy notes that follow on the nose. It is full-bodied with rich tannins and surprises the palate with its minerality and energy." Matrot
"The 2019 Blagny La Pièce Sous La Bois 1er Cru is fragrant and comely on the nose, offering pure red cherries mixed with red currant and wild strawberry, all quite sensual and well delineated. The palate is very well balanced with a vivid red cherry and strawberry entry, fine depth and impressive mineralité, This has tension to spare on the spicy finish. An outstanding Blagny that should give up to 18-20 years of drinking pleasure." Vinous
"Here the wood is less subtle though by no means bothersome on the equally pretty and perfumed aromas of essence of red berries, violet, lavender and discreet spice wisps. There is fine volume and richness to the palate coating flavors that also display focused power on the austere and built-to-age finale. This is also lovely and worth considering." Burghound
