La Pièce-sous-le-Bois Blagny 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Nice expression of Côte de Beaune with some age. Light, pure, and quite pretty on the nose. Florals, forest floor, kirsch, and savory herbs. Needed some air to reveal itself.

Wow! So ethereal...Light but deep. Not fruit forward but beautifully fruit infused. A dream of cherries...soooo subtle

Surprising wine. Too bad it's not made anymore.

A little short on acid, but surprising how fresh and youthful it is

There is a good amount of dark raspberry fruit, weight and texture, but the green herbaceous edge is what lasts

Gorgeous. Complex yet fresh. A touch of mint and raw pepper above brandies cherries and forest floor. In a great place and paired super well with duck and pork/clams at Lucques.

Great find at Howard’s. Blagny’s red and premier cru and ready to go. This doesn’t need any more aging. Needs decanting time. Fruit aromas open the wine with more than usual cloudiness of the juice. Strawberry in taste. ‘06 was the last year for red

Humble appellation and a challenging vintage but this was just lovely. Pretty floral notes with just enough sous bois quality to the pomegranate and cranberry fruit. The palates gets richer with air. Zesty and fresh on palate with nice earthy tones to the crunchy red fruit. This is not a complex profound wine but so enjoyable 17 years after the fruit was harvested.

Pinot grapes no longer planted in this vineyard. So rare, but not interesting. Very light mouthfeel but as a good pairing with mushroom risotto
