2019 Benjamin Leroux Premier Cru La Piece Sous Le Bois, Blagny, Burgundy, France

This wine comes from a .44 hectare plot located right next to the highest premier cru Chardonnay vineyard in Meursault. But instead this Pinot Noir is made in Saint Aubin style -  crimson colour, with strawberry cheeks. Its aromas are redolent of blackcurrant, Morello cherry, blackberry. These are set off by spicy notes. In the mouth it is fat and silky with a lively finish. Age adds suppleness, warmth and persistence.
