Faiveley Meursault-Blagny 1er cru 2021

92 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "A Meursault premier cru from Blagny stood out at a recent tasting of the 2021 vintage at Faiveley. Its lemon peel and tangy, saline mineral aromas were inviting and given complexity by a hint of smoky reduction. The appellation, at the top of the slope in Meursault, is an interesting one. The texture on the palate was racy with fresh, crisp acidity, but there was no lack of body. Faiveley has purchased the grapes for this – they are not specialists in whites from the Côte de Beaune – but let’s hope they continue since the wine is pleasant indeed. Drinking Window: 2023-2035. (Jun 2022)"

92 points Sarah Marsh, MW (The World of Fine Wine): "Lemon and white peach. Vivid and flighty; the straight, crisp, and light palate shimmers with minerals. 2024–30. (Issue 79; 2023)"

90-92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Meursault 1er Cru Blagny (Maison) is chiseled and electric, offering up aromas of green apple, lime zest, white flowers and struck match, followed by a medium-bodied, taut and tangy palate that will delight acid lovers. (Jan 2023)"

90-92 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Purchased grapes. There is a touch of reduction, with citrus and fresh plum notes, quite tannic for a white wine, certainly a dry finish at the moment, but there is enough length to suggest a good outcome. Drink from 2025-2029. (Nov 2022)"

90-92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2021 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru was quite primal and slightly reduced when I tasted it at Faiveley. The palate is well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, quite malic with pear and peach skin, fine extract on the finish bestowing this with a very agreeable mouthfeel. Promising. Drink: 2025-2036. (Jan 2023)"
