2016 Meursault Blagny Premier Cru Thierry et Pascale Matrot, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2016 Meursault Blagny Premier Cru, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

The 2016 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru is more steely and reserved, offering up notes of crisp green apple, melon oil, chamomile and light reduction. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, chalky and tensile with nice concentration and a tangier, more acid-driven profile. This is built to reward bottle age. - William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2016 Meursault Blagny Premier Cru, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

This too is sufficiently reduced to push the underlying fruit to the background. The ultra-rich and unusually full-bodied flavors exude a discreet minerality that carries over to the bitter lemon, naturally sweet and oak-suffused finish. - Allen Meadows, Jun. 2018

Vinous - 2016 Meursault Blagny Premier Cru, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

(these vines avoided the frost and produced 50 hectoliters per hectare): Bright, light yellow. Tight, pure aromas of white fruits, white flowers and minerals. A step up in texture from the Meursault Les Chevalières, this wine also shows a more classic balance and greater purity than the basic village example. This attractive juicy, savory Meursault finishes firm but not hard, with the acid balance and chewiness to support mid-term aging. I may be underrating this wine today. - Stephen Tanzer, Sep. 2018
