2017 Blagny Premier Cru La Pièce sous le Bois Thierry et Pascale Matrot, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Blagny Premier Cru La Pièce sous le Bois, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

Notes of sweet red cherries, herbs and dried flowers introduce the 2017 Blagny 1er Cru La Pièce Sous Le Bois, a medium-bodied, succulent wine with a tangy core of fruit, light but chalky tannins and a mouthwatering finish. From a high altitude, stony site, this is a singular Côte de Beaune bottling that will appeal to purists who love tensile, precise reds. - William Kelley, Jan. 2019

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Blagny Premier Cru La Pièce sous le Bois, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

This too is really quite pretty with its more exotic nose where notes of mandarin orange, passion fruit and white peach-inflected aromas can be found. There is more volume if less minerality on the medium-bodied flavors that once again are not especially complex though I like the sneaky good length. This may well develop more depth with a few years in bottle and that's what I would suggest doing. - Allen Meadows, Jun. 2019
