Reviewed January 2024There is a generous ripe apple fruit with an edge of citrus to this wine, accents of fresh white flowers and marzipan and a firm saline mineral underpinning. The texture is rich, yet there is plenty of energy to carry this to a pleasantly long finish. The grapes are from one hectare of the Pernot family holdings, planted by Alvina's grandfather, Paul Pernot and replanted to Chardonnay in the 1990s. Although Blagny is not mentioned on the label, this is where the grapes are grown. (CC)

Here too there is smoky note suffusing the aromas of pear and apple compote, lemon rind and a similar array of pretty floral elements. There is even better mid-palate density to the utterly delicious and beautifully textured medium weight flavors that possess a highly seductive mouthfeel, all wrapped in a lingering, firm and equally well-balanced finale. More depth would be welcome but even so, this is already lovely.

Pale colour, rather elegant on the nose though not demonstrative. Plenty of grip on the palate, a lime note behind the white fruit, extra energy, though still waiting to become a fully developed personality. Middleweight. Drink from 2027-2032.

The 2022 Meursault La Piéce Sous Bois 1er Cru, from vines towards Blagny, owned by Alvina's grandfather, has a very controlled and focused bouquet with crushed stone permeating the yellow fruit. The palate is very well-balanced and harmonious, not powerful but tensile, with a touch of orange rind and quince towards the finish. It doesn't quite let go completely, so I would afford it 3-4 years in the cellar. Still, this is well-crafted and will be quite delicious. (NM)
