Domaine Blain-Gagnard

Chardonnay and pinot noir wine from the village of Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte-de-Beaune, Bourgogne, France

Very fine, perfectly balanced and expressive wines of elegance.

Domaine Blain-Gagnard was created in 1980 with the marriage of Jean-Marc Blain and Claudine Gagnard. 

This Domaine produces both high-quality reds and exceptional whites, notably their three grand crus of Le Montrachet, Criots-Batard-Montrachet and Batard-Montrachet, with 16 crus from eight hectares of vineyards. 

The eight premier crus are in Chassagne-Montrachet and Volnay (2 red). Chardonnay accounts for 55% of production with yields at 40-45hl/ha and less for the pinot noir. The wine-making is fairly traditional. They destem the berries and use a little battonage on the whites. They employ both tanks and barrels (15-20% new) from small to very large. Jean-Marc likes to “suivre l’ame” – follow the spirit of the wine.

The whites are perfect for a luxurious drinking experience – with village level for more casual week-nights or premier/grand cru for a special occasion.
