David Moret Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru La Pièce sous le bois 2023 white

David Moret’s Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru La Pièce sous le Bois 2023 is an elegant white Burgundy that combines Meursault’s renowned richness with the lifted, mineral character of the Blagny hillside. Made from Chardonnay, this Premier Cru bottling offers a refined expression of Côte de Beaune terroir and the precision for which David Moret is known.

Tasting Notes
Bright pale gold in appearance, the wine opens with aromas of ripe pear, white peach and citrus, complemented by subtle floral notes and a delicate mineral character. On the palate, it is polished and focused, balancing rounded fruit and supple texture with fresh acidity. Hints of lemon zest, orchard fruit and lightly toasted nuances lead to a long, clean finish. With its concentration and structure, the 2023 should develop additional complexity over the next several years and drink well through the early-to-mid 2030s, depending on storage conditions.

Production
The La Pièce sous le Bois Premier Cru lies on the limestone-rich slopes of Blagny, an area known for producing Chardonnay with freshness, precision and mineral definition. The wine is made from Chardonnay and reflects David Moret’s meticulous approach to white Burgundy, with careful handling intended to preserve the purity of the fruit and the character of the site. Specific details regarding harvesting and élevage are not provided, but the style is marked by balance, texture and terroir clarity.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 11–13°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled or poached fish, lobster, scallops and dishes featuring cream or beurre blanc. Mature Comté and other refined, moderately aged cheeses are also excellent matches. Decanting is not essential for a young bottle, although 20–30 minutes in a carafe can help reveal its aromatic depth.
