2022 Armand Heitz Meursault Blagny 1er Cru is a high-altitude Premier Cru Chardonnay from the slopes above Meursault, where limestone-rich soils bring both power and precision. The nose is refined and mineral-driven, showing lime zest, green apple and white peach, layered with white flowers, crushed stone and subtle flinty notes. Compared to classic Meursault, there is a slightly cooler, more lifted aromatic profile, with excellent freshness despite the warm 2022 vintage.
On the palate, it is intense, structured and beautifully balanced, offering flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and subtle nutty complexity, supported by a creamy yet focused texture and vibrant acidity. The hallmark of Blagny is its mineral tension and precision, and here it shows clearly - delivering a wine that is both powerful and linear, with a long, persistent finish. It combines the richness of Meursault with the finesse and lift often associated with Puligny-Montrachet.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of wine we position as a "high-end Meursault with Puligny precision". It has the richness and texture people expect from Meursault, but with more tension, minerality and structure, making it a great choice for serious Burgundy drinkers. If a customer enjoys Puligny-Montrachet or Chassagne with more freshness, this is a perfect upgrade. A wine that can impress immediately but also reward ageing over 10–15+ years, pairing beautifully with lobster, scallops, truffle dishes or refined seafood cuisine.
