Subtle reduction gives the 2021 Benjamin Leroux Blagny La Piece Sous le Bois Premier Cru a slight smokiness before layers of pure, cool red cherry and raspberry emerge, framed by firm yet finely etched tannins. The darker-toned fruit, lively acidity and stony grip speak to a serious, structured Blagny that promises more nuance with time in bottle, finishing long and focused.

Benjamin Leroux’s La Pièce Sous le Bois (Blagny 1er Cru/Meursault‑Blagny) is a high‑altitude, stony‑limed vineyard on the upper slopes between Meursault and Puligny; Leroux’s tiny parcels (old vines, organic/biodynamic farming) yield precise, mineral‑driven Chardonnays (and a small Pinot parcel bottled as Blagny) noted for chalky salinity, vivid acidity, restrained oak and a lean, tensile profile that marries Meursault richness with an almost Chablis‑like austerity.
