TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

Hints of menthol and violet sit atop an otherwise similar nose. There is by contrast a more elegant mouthfeel to the rich and appealingly textured medium-bodied flavours that are at once caressing but punchy, all wrapped in a suave, delicious and already complex finale. This should be approachable young if that's your preference. Allen Meadows - Burghound

Blain-Gagnard

This is one of the finest white Burgundy estates, where the wine-making involves minimal interventions. It is run by Jean-Marc Blain and his wife Claudine, the daughter of Jacques Gagnard-Delagrange. The family owns some of the village’s greatest hillsides. New oak barrels are never used to excess, being subtly spread amongst the different cuvées, so that spicy oakiness is never perceptible here. Blain is also prudent with stirring-up of the lees (known as bâtonnage) which, if used to excess, may result in heavy wines which taste mealy. Here, on the contrary, the finished wines have great purity of fruit, with balanced acidity and long, clean flavours which clearly evoke the wines’ precise origins.
