TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

Elegant and airy high-toned aromas of essence of red berries and traces of earth and lavender lead to precise, delicious and energetic middle weight flavours that are shaped by relatively-fine grained tannins on the balanced, mildly austere and lingering finish. Blain consistently does well with this wine and even though it's not especially dense, 2017 is still no exception. Allen Meadows - Burghound

Producer

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.
