Domaine Blain-Gagnard Description

W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
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”).
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.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Like Morgeot, La Boudriotte can have weight, depth, and richness, but is typically a bit more
finessed. Aromas and flavors of yellow apples, lemons, and minerals are accompanied by notes
of vanilla and toast thanks to aging in 30% new Burgundian pièce.
F O O D P A I R I N G
White Burgundy, with its rich texture and toasted flavors, pairs well with white fish and shellfish,
and its naturally high acidity can counterbalance cream-based sauces. Oak-aging lends itself
well to grilled fish, starches, butter, and toasted nuts.
