2019 Domaine Thierry & Pascale Matrot 'La Piece Sous le Bois' Premier Cru Blagny

Winemaker Notes:  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.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine & Spirits - "This is the kind of pure Burgundy pleasure that may drive you crazy for more. A riper, equally honest sibling to the old-fashioned, rose-scented 2018, this grows high up the hill in Meursault, at the border with Puligny, where the thin soils leave the vines in close contact with limestone, providing a wine with buzzing energy and a delicate frame. For a 2019, the color is markedly transparent, as is the sour-cherry fruit, providing just enough of a scrim to cover the mineral and woodsy animal depths that layer the finish. The fruit lingers, quietly unfolding, with an understated beauty that completely wins my heart."


Burghound - "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."
