Meursault-Blagny is at the top of the slope, on the border with Puligny-Montrachet, or above the famous 1er Crus Perrieres in Meursault. The addition "Blagny" has only recently been used by Benjamin Leroux, previously only Meursault and the 1er Cru La Pièce Sous Le Bois were on the label.

The name of the site defines the position of the vineyard, translated: the piece under the forest. It is the highest location in Meusault and accordingly cool in aroma, with lots of freshness and elegance. The Leroux parcel, on the other hand, is also the top part of this Premier Cru site, which further reinforces this character. The 0.44ha of Leroux are planted with Chardonnay vines from 1953. Depth and pressure are also guaranteed here.

Vinous Defines the 2020 Meursault-Blagny La Pièce Sous Le Bois 1er Cru from Leroux as spicy, with aromas such as clementine and passion fruit. Full of energy and well balanced on the palate, with deep and fine acidity and a concentrated finish. Excellent! 92-94/100
