The 2022 Matrot Blagny La Pièce sous le Bois is a distinctive Pinot Noir from the elevated slopes of Blagny in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune. Produced by Domaine Matrot, this vineyard is known for yielding reds with freshness, structure and mineral precision. The wine opens with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, layered with subtle floral notes, spice and hints of forest floor.
On the palate, it is elegant and finely structured, with bright acidity supporting flavours of red berries, sour cherry and delicate savoury nuances. The cooler hillside site contributes freshness and tension, while fine-grained tannins provide shape and persistence. The finish is long, dry and beautifully balanced, with impressive finesse and site expression.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Burgundy for Pinot Noir lovers seeking a more refined and terroir-driven expression. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar over the next 8–10 years as further complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with roast duck, quail, mushroom risotto, pork dishes and aged soft cheeses.
