Deep concentrated Pinot from 30 year old vines in Blagny, one of the few appellations better known for Chardonnay production that is capable of of producing very high quality 1er cru & ageworthy reds.  Darker forest berries here on display which eat up the 30% new oak.  Sure it's a bit of a tight right now but there's clear signs of a beautiful Red Burgundy in the making.

19+/20 Matthew Jukes - "This is an exquisite Pinot Noir with a name very few would ever have heard of unless, of course, they put two and two together with the Meursaults, and the like, above.  This is, without doubt, the finest Blangy Rouge I have ever tasted.  This was blamed on their setting, high on the Côte and yet this should have been a plus and not a minus point for these wines. Maybe they were just left behind in favour of more famous and familiar Volnays and Pommards.  Well, this wine alone will set the record straight for this hamlet and for the future.  As the world warms up, sites like this will no doubt be highly prized, and in 2020, the vintage played into its hands.  This is one of the most expressive and downright delicious wines I have tasted in this entire campaign.  It is deeply fruited, not heavy, but intense and completely refreshing and magical on the finish.  I have awarded an extra half-point to this wine on this occasion because I want it to sit on a rare list in 2020.  Perhaps wine lovers far and wide will read about its glory and have the chance to taste just how epic Blagny can be."

Jancison Robinson - "Mid to deep crimson. Good, pure, ripe fruit on the nose and then rather a sandy texture on the palate but very sincere somehow. Lots of pleasure to come here as everything is in balance and there is no excess of ripeness, acidity or tannin. I’d hoped the less-than-famous name might make it a bargain but I was wrong."
