2022 Benjamin Leroux Blagny 1er Cru "La Pièce Sous Le Bois", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Blagny, located on the border between Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, is a hidden gem for Pinot Noir in the Côte de Beaune. The "La Pièce Sous Le Bois" vineyard is a premier cru site nestled on a steep slope, where Benjamin Leroux carefully tends old vines to capture the essence of this unique terroir. The 2022 vintage reflects the vineyard's elevation and cool climate, delivering a wine of purity and finesse. Aged in French oak, this wine offers depth and complexity without overwhelming the fruit, making it a perfect representation of Blagny’s refined style. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, lamb, or truffle-infused dishes.
