OUTSTANDING - Here there is just enough reduction to push the underlying fruit to the background so be sure to give this some air if you're tempted to try a bottle young. The lilting and beautifully textured middleweight flavors flash excellent punch on the caressing, nicely dry, stony and bitter lemon zest-suffused finish. This could use a bit better depth but the aging curve is such that more should reasonably develop in time. BURGHOUND
The 2021 Meursault-Blagny La Pièce Sous Le Bois 1er Cru has a cool, reserved nose at first that is quite Puligny-like, with fine mineralité and definition. Scents of grapefruit and pear emerge with time. The palate is well-balanced with a silver thread of acidity. It's more linear and edgy than the Vireuils, with a little more persistence on the finish. Delicious. BILL NANSON, The Burgundy Report
Crisp, lively, and refreshing, this wine opens with bright citrus and flinty notes and opens a bit with green apple and hints of cream. The texture is lively but there is enough substance to ensure that it doesn't feel sharp. Leroux farms 2.85 hectares here, and luckily it gave two-thirds of a normal crop this year, twenty barrels in total. An admirable effort from someone who is a bit of a Blagny specialist. DECANTER
