Nestled above the villages of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, hidden in a wooded area, lies the village of Blagny, once owned by the Countess of Blagny. Uniquely in Burgundy, Blagny cannot produce white wines; instead, the vineyards planted with Pinot Noir yield refined, aromatic wines with rare energy. In warm years, the altitude and freshness grant these wines rare elegance and a welcome crispness, while in cooler years, they express vibrant floral notes and bright, tangy red fruit aromas. These distinctive wines have excellent aging potential, typically for at least 10 years, and even longer in exceptional vintages.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Lamy-Pillot Blagny 1er Cru 'La Pièce sous le Bois' offers a captivating bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild berries, and subtle floral notes, intertwined with hints of earth and delicate spices.On the palate, this Pinot Noir is elegant and refined, with a silky texture, balanced acidity, and fine-grained tannins that lead to a lingering finish. The wine’s vibrant freshness and complexity make it an ideal pairing with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or a rich beef bourguignon. Its structure and depth also complement a variety of artisanal cheeses, particularly those with a creamy, tangy profile.
