Tasting notes
The 2016 Blagny La Pièce Sous Le Bois 1er Cru has a gorgeous, beautifully defined bouquet with brambly red fruit, mulberry, faint seashell scents and a touch of pot pourri. This is very complex. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, supple and beautifully focused with real weight and density towards the finish, allied with unerring elegance that does this appellation proud. Chapeau . Tasted at the Domaine Direct Tasting in London.

A bit of oak on the nose. Rather heavy-handed – lacks soaring freshness – and it’s a bit rustic in terms of chewiness. Old-fashioned burgundy for which you’ll need to wait a very long time, crossing your fingers very tightly. Sour finish. (JR)
The 2016 Blagny La Pièce Sous le Bois 1er Cru has beautiful complexity in its black raspberry, cherry, dried flowers and forest floor aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied, has good ripeness, sweet tannins, and a balanced, elegant style that’s a joy to drink. It’s a beauty.
