The current release is the 2002. At 24 years, La Pièce Sous le Bois has fully resolved its primary fruit; what remains is Meursault in secondary development: toasted hazelnut, baked stone fruit, a salty mineral persistence that lingers well past the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa Pièce Sous le Bois sits at the highest elevation of Meursault's Premier Cru hillside, just below the forest line, on clay-limestone soils that lean toward the precision of Puligny-Montrachet. The 1.6-hectare parcel was the last Robert Ampeau acquired, in 1973. The traditional, oxidative winemaking — once considered old-fashioned — turned out to protect these wines from the premature oxidation that damaged many 1990s and early-2000s white Burgundies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eSeared Scallops\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emineral acidity and textured richness align with sweet caramelized shellfish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eRoast Chicken with Tarragon Butter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ehazelnut-and-cream profile is the textbook match for roast poultry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eAged Comté\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ethe wine's salty-mineral finish mirrors the cheese's crystalline, nutty character\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sussex Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44411453309087,"sku":"7349","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/domaine-robert-ampeau-et-fils-meursault-1er-cru-la-piece-sous-le-bois-750ml","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
