Meursault Blagny Faiveley 2017 (750ML)

92 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Blagny (Maison) is showing very well, wafting from the glass with aromas of waxy citrus rind, blanched almonds, fresh peach and nutmeg. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and satiny, with fine concentration and chewy extract, girdled in racy acids, and concluding with a precise, saline finish. This is showing good tension in bottle, and while it will be approachable young, it has the substance to improve with bottle age." 11/19

89-91 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru is not from the domaine but comes from a 12-year contract whereby Faiveley does all the farming in the vineyard. It has a fresh, citrus-driven bouquet featuring notes of orange blossom and crushed stone. The palate is well balanced, with crisp acidity, touches of orange zest and quince, and a pretty, passion-fruit-tinged finish. Enjoy over the next five to eight years." 1/19

89-91 Points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous: "Bright light yellow. Aromas of pêche de vigne, riper nectarine and orange zest, complicated by a hint of vanilla and lifted by a mineral element. Riper and softer than the village Puligny but classically dry, with its nectarine and lime fruit flavors leading to a gripping finish with adamant minerality. Conveys a strong impression of terroir specificity. (13.5% alcohol)" 9/18

90-92 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "A deft application of wood frames the citrusy essence of pear and apple compote. The slightly bigger and richer medium-bodied flavors possess both ample minerality and energy, all wrapped in a detailed, compact, linear and youthfully austere finish." 06/19
