TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

Outstanding. Also opaque. This is also quite ripe yet remarkably fresh with its liqueur-like aromas of black raspberry, spice and discreet wood influence. The dense, thick and opulent medium weight plus flavours coat the palate with dry extract while displaying excellent vibrancy on the powerful but refined finish. This is more elegant than the Pitures and while it's definitely an atypical Champans, it's quite good all the same. 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.
