Description / Reviews
// Biodynamic Chardonnay vineyard underneath the Blagny forest, 11 months ageing in 25% new oak barrels
"In colour, very pretty green golden, the nose being fragrant with honey and spices: the mouth sumptuous and rich, with elegant middle palate and lovely texture, bounce, finesse and silkiness." - Olivier Leflaive, Winemaker
"The 2020 Meursault-Blagny Sous La Dos d'Ane 1er Cru is swathed in oak on the nose at the expense of terroir expression, and I wonder if there is sufficient fruit to really soak it all up. Predictably, the palate is also laden with vanillary new oak, which renders the Meursault quite generic. It has balance and concentration, though it articulates more about the winemaking modus operandi than the place it comes from." - Neal Martin, Vinous
