2016 Blagny Premier Cru La Pièce sous le Bois Thierry et Pascale Matrot, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2016 Blagny Premier Cru La Pièce sous le Bois, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

Matrot's 2016 Blagny 1er Cru La Pièce Sous Le Bois is also showing well, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet cherries, redcurrant, candied peel and warm spices. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with the chalky tannins and tangy acids that distinguish this site, concluding with a saline, mineral finish. - William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2016 Blagny Premier Cru La Pièce sous le Bois, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

A cooler and airier nose reflects admirably pure notes of red cherry, violet, soft spice and an interesting hint of pekoe tea. The delicious, vibrant and beautifully delineated medium weight flavors also exude a subtle minerality on the focused, linear and balanced finale that isn't super-complex but is solidly persistent. - Allen Meadows, Apr. 2018

Vinous - 2016 Blagny Premier Cru La Pièce sous le Bois, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

The 2016 Blagny La Pièce Sous Le Bois 1er Cru has a gorgeous, beautifully defined bouquet with brambly red fruit, mulberry, faint seashell scents and a touch of pot pourri. This is very complex. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, supple and beautifully focused with real weight and density towards the finish, allied with unerring elegance that does this appellation proud. Chapeau. Tasted at the Domaine Direct Tasting in London. - Neil Martin, Okt. 2019
