2022 Blain-Gagnard Volnay 1er Cru "Champans"
Volnay "Champans" is a Premier Cru known for amplitude and persistence, often carrying more depth than Volnay’s silkiest expressions.
The 2022 reads as more amplitude through the mid‑palate, with ripeness supporting a broad, age‑worthy frame: plum and dark cherry with spice build into a sappy core before tightening into a dusty, compact finish that rewards patience.
Cellar with intent: tightly wound in youth, then broadens with savoury detail as the tannin architecture softens.
Drinking Window: 2025–2040.
