Based in neighbouring Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Blain-Gagnard has earned a reputation for producing wines of remarkable purity, elegance and longevity through meticulous vineyard work and restrained oak usage. The estate’s village Puligny-Montrachet consistently overdelivers, combining the appellation’s hallmark mineral precision with the domaine’s refined winemaking style. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"1123\"\u003eThe 2022 vintage is particularly attractive, benefiting from excellent ripeness and concentration while retaining freshness and balance. Puligny-Montrachet is renowned for producing some of Burgundy’s most elegant white wines, typically characterised by citrus fruit, white flowers, mineral tension and understated power. The warm but balanced 2022 growing season delivered wines with greater generosity than 2021 while preserving the village’s classical finesse. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1125\" data-end=\"1493\"\u003eThe nose is expressive and refined, revealing white flowers, citrus confit, pear and apple alongside subtle hints of hazelnut, crushed stone and delicate oak spice. Burghound notes an elegant aromatic profile with white flowers, apple, pear and citrus, while early tastings highlight impressive freshness and underlying structure. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1495\" data-end=\"1961\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with a sleek, finely textured mouthfeel. Layers of citrus, orchard fruit and mineral notes are supported by vibrant acidity and chalky tension. The wine combines the precision and elegance typical of Puligny-Montrachet with the additional concentration of the 2022 vintage. The finish is long, saline and youthfully structured, suggesting excellent potential for further development in bottle. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"1990\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"1988\"\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1992\" data-end=\"2769\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding example of why Puligny-Montrachet remains one of the most sought-after Chardonnay appellations in the world. Compared to Meursault, it is more mineral, focused and linear; compared to Chassagne-Montrachet, it generally shows greater finesse and precision. Blain-Gagnard’s style emphasises purity over power, making this a particularly attractive choice for Burgundy lovers who appreciate elegance and terroir expression. The 2022 vintage combines generosity with freshness beautifully, offering both immediate appeal and medium-term cellar potential. Drink from 2025 onwards or cellar comfortably for 8–12+ years. Perfect with lobster, scallops, turbot, roast chicken or refined French cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 117.563px;\" width=\"846\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eBlain-Gagnard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWhite Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\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":49482349216059,"sku":"BGPMON22F","price":175.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/Blain-GagnardPulignyMontrachet.jpg?v=1726890471","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2022-blain-gagnard-puligny-montrachet","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
