About the Domaine:

Domaine Blain-Gagnard was formed in 1980 when Jean-Marc Blain married Claudine Gagnard, youngest daughter of Jacques and Marie-Josèphe Gagnard of Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange. The couple runs this venerable domaine with the help of their son Marc-Antonin. They now control 20.5 acres of vines in Chassagne-Montrachet, including holdings in three grands crus: Le Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet.

Chassagne-Montrachet lies towards the southern end of the Côte de Beaune and is famous for its white wines, although half of its total plantings are in red. In addition to the Grand Crus, Blain-Gagnard’s holdings in Chassagne-Montrachet include two red premier crus and four white premier crus along with small holdings in Volnay and Pommard. The vineyards are farmed by lutte raisonée (“reasoned struggle”).

About the Wine:

Chassagne-Montrachet La Boudriotte 1er Cru is located on the grounds of the Morgeot Abbey and is technically a subsection of Morgeot. Boudriotte itself is made up of six individual lieux-dits, all of which may also be bottled as Morgeot 1er Cru.  The vineyard lies on a gentle slope of gravel, clay, and limestone, from vines planted between 1932 and 1969.

Ratings & Reviews

93 Points "Sweet spot, Outstanding" - Burghound:
"A cooler and more reserved nose features notes of elegant and admirably pure white flowers, green apple and a touch of rosemary oil. There is first-rate density to the powerful and muscular flavors that flash a touch of better lemon zest on the strikingly long, balanced and complex finish. This a terrific example of the appellation and absolutely worth your interest."
