2017 2017 Domaine Thierry Matrot Meursault Blagny Premier Cru

Attractive peach and nutty aromas, with much more conviction than their St-Romain. Heavy, pithy texture. Finishes with a touch of toffee character and slightly bruised fruit suggesting an oxidative influence. (RH)

The 2017 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru unfurls in the glass with a vivid bouquet of crisp green apple, pear, Meyer lemon and oyster shell. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy but cool and controlled, with bright acids and a mineral finish. The high altitude site tempers the sun kissed charm of the vintage.

(this fruit was picked around September 6): Pale, bright yellow. Subdued, slightly metallic minerality along with scents of lemon, lime, licorice and fresh herbs on the aromatic nose. At once supple and brisk, with an element of calcaire -driven saline minerality giving the wine a firm shape and a gently penetrating character. This very fresh, moderately concentrated midweight offers attractive balance and good chalky energy.
