Tasting notes of Domaine Matrot Blagny 1er Cru La Pièce Sous le Bois
Powerful aromas of dark fruits stand out on the nose, being intense with mineral and stony nuances, but also presenting a perfumed note. These aromas lead into an abundantly full palate of dark fruits, which intertwine with extremely ripe tannins that hide behind the lovely presence of black fruits, blackberries and spicy, musky and ripe notes, creating a rich and deep concentration.
