Leroux/Benjamin Meursault 1er cru La Pièce sous le Bois 2023

96 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "As good as the red Blagny is (very), this is even better. Leroux farms 1.7 hectares at the top of the slope, and here, he has vinified different sections of the vineyard in cask, large oak foudres, and glass wine globes. The blend of all three is lively and fresh, with an exceptional vibrancy on the palate but no lack of nutty Meursault charm and spice. Cellar this for five to seven years for best results and then enjoy over the next 20. Drinking Window: 2030-2050. (11/14/24)"

91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A mix of their own vines and others. This has exactly the limestone feel to the nose that one hopes for, with elegance rather than too much of a stony feel, picked on 4th September, the first day of the real heatwave. Fuller finish, with plenty of energy. (Oct 2024)"

93 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "Swooshing out of the glass with a toasted spice nose, this has a glossy, moderately dense palate, ample sweet apple fruits and a subtley mineral finish. This hails from a big, 2.2 ha plot (about 0.7 is planted to Pinot Noir) planted high on the slope. The resounding, tangy acidity is a testament to the vines' positioning. (2025)"

92 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Discreet though not imperceptible wood influence surrounds the notably floral-suffused aromas of mostly essence of pear and citrus elements. The caressing if punchy and refined flavors are also on the plump and fleshy side, all wrapped in a youthfully austere and lightly stony finish that displays both impressive depth and length. I like the balance and this should drink well after only a few years of keeping yet repay up to a decade of aging. Drink: 2031+. (Jun 2025)"
