Description

2018 Meursault, La Pièce Sous le Bois, 1er Cru, Benjamin Leroux, BurgundyBen strongly believes in this vineyard at the top of the hill above Meursault, with a south easterly exposure as the hill turns towards Puligny Montrachet. Of the 2. 2 hectares available, he now has 1. 5 hectares; this year, he has 10,000 bottles (up from 800 bottles last year). The sites attraction is its ability to retain acidity, which has a cerebral, cold stone vivacity linked to juicy and accessible fruit. Berry Bros. & Rudd

Another interest at the moment lies in finding the perfect toasting for his barrels

it’s oh-so-smooth and effortlessly long

10% Counoise and the balance made up

strawberry and spiced raspberry-scented bouquet that turns more towards dark fruits

All of this is wrapped up on the lingering palate by further notes of fruit syrup

This is a complex mixture of plots: two towards the south of the appellation (adding freshness)

Les Cognées and the village section of Chenevery

Tignanello’s origins lie in a single vineyard Chianti Classico Riserva ‘Vigneto Tignanello‘ made for the 1970 vintage
