2022 Chapelle de Blagny Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru Sous le dos d'âne
18+/20 Matthew Jukes - "Just uphill from Meursault-Perrieres 1er Cru, an outcrop of rock - resembling a donkey s back - which gives the wine its name. Average vine age here is 80 years old & perhaps the most mineral of all the whites from this domaine, and yet also deeply concentrated (wide & long). In keeping with the house style of no new oak in the whites - it's also 1 to 4 year old barrels here. There are two wines from this terrific estate that scored identical 18s, and the main difference between the two is that Les Ravelles is more forward and enticing right now, and Meursault 1er Cru Blagny Sous le Dos d Ane is closed and introverted and will require at least four years to unravel (yes, that s a pun)! In a surprisingly short period, Chapelle de Blagny has become a must-buy Meursault producer. "
