Domaine Blain-Gagnard has earned a reputation for producing wines of exceptional precision and elegance, and remarkably, the village cuvée traditionally includes a meaningful proportion of Premier Cru fruit, adding extra depth and complexity beyond what is typically expected at the appellation level. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"545\" data-end=\"906\"\u003eThe 2021 vintage is particularly classical in style, shaped by a cool growing season that favoured freshness, aromatic purity and mineral expression. The nose reveals citrus zest, green apple, pear and white peach layered with subtle floral notes, wet stone, light petrol nuances and delicate hints of olive oil complexity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"1436\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with impressive density and refinement. Bright citrus and orchard fruit flavours are supported by vibrant acidity and a finely textured mineral backbone. The wine balances Chassagne-Montrachet’s characteristic generosity with the tension and precision more commonly associated with neighbouring Puligny-Montrachet. Burghound praised the wine's richness, vibrancy and lingering finish, noting its ability to drink well young while also rewarding cellaring. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1438\" data-end=\"1714\"\u003eThe finish is long, fresh and mineral-driven, with excellent balance and persistence. The cooler 2021 vintage gives the wine a particularly transparent expression of terroir, making it an outstanding example of traditional white Burgundy. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1716\" data-end=\"1743\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1716\" data-end=\"1741\"\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1745\" data-end=\"2494\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best-value entries into serious white Burgundy from a top Chassagne producer. Compared to Meursault, it is more focused and mineral-driven; compared to Puligny-Montrachet, it offers slightly more texture and generosity while retaining excellent precision. The inclusion of Premier Cru fruit gives the wine a level of depth that significantly overdelivers for its classification. The 2021 vintage will particularly appeal to Burgundy lovers who favour freshness, tension and classical balance over richer, broader styles. Drink from now with decanting or cellar comfortably for 8–12+ years. Perfect with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, turbot or refined French cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 152px;\" width=\"846\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlain-Gagnard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wine More Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46804986265915,"sku":"BGCMON21F","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/Blain-GagnardChassagneMontrachet_4e27b765-a381-4cdf-a244-e6ccdc53d4bf.jpg?v=1695714086","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2021-blain-gagnard-chssagne-montrachet","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
