- TASTING NOTE: "A beautifully layered nose reflects notes of white flowers, mineral reduction and a plethora of spice elements. Once again there is a lovely texture to the intense, concentrated, mouthcoating and unusually powerful middleweight flavors that display excellent length on the youthfully austere and agreeably dry finish. The Blain whites invariably age well and this should be no exception." 92 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound
- ABOUT THE WINE: Two types of soil, white with stones, marne à huitres above, here with rows which run bottom to top so the expression of the two soils. The bottom of the slope resembles Clos St.Jean a little – it’s on the same geological band.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Jean-Marc Blain married Claudine, daughter of Jacques Gagnard, to create this estate. He comes originally from Veaugues, close to Sancerre, but met Claudine while studying in Burgundy and rapidly defected. They have now been joined by son Marc-Antonin, who has also taken on one or two of the family vineyards in his own name. The domaine is 60 per cent white by vineyard ownership, but 70 per cent by wine production. The whites are attractively-made wines, good in the medium term but capable of ageing. The village Chassagne-Montrachet has the added bonus of containing a good proportion, up to a third, of premier cru grapes. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
